An Opening Match That Sets the Tone

Week 3 of LSHL action kicked off in style with a vibrant showdown between Be Healthy
Love Berry and Rénobrio. In front of a packed crowd, both teams hit the ice to
thunderous applause. Even during warm-ups, the intensity was undeniable—team
huddles, chants, and that unmistakable end-of-season energy filled the rink.
The game started at a blistering pace. Both squads exchanged multiple scoring
chances in the opening minutes, clearly determined to make their mark early. As the
game progressed, the pace tightened and the physicality ramped up. Players weren’t
afraid to press hard, using aggressive forechecks to regain puck possession.
Highlight of the game: Rénobrio goaltender Alice Philbert got caught behind her net but
turned the moment into a highlight reel by juggling the puck and evading a forechecker
with a slick move that got the crowd buzzing.

Despite a late push and pulling their goalie in the final minute, Rénobrio couldn't close
the gap. Be Healthy Love Berry held firm and secured a convincing 8–5 win.

Highly Anticipated Clash Between Manmade and Accent Assurances

The action continued with a much-anticipated matchup between Manmade and Accent
Assurances. Before puck drop, the atmosphere was already electric—Marie-Philip
Poulin even took time to pose for photos with young fans in the stands.

Once the puck dropped, it was all about the goaltenders. Both sides delivered highlight-
reel saves in a tightly contested and thrilling matchup. Structured and aggressive, the
teams put on a defensive display worthy of playoff hockey.

It was Poulin who finally broke through early in the third period, tying the game 2–2. Two
quick goals by Manmade later in the period gave them control of the match. With two
minutes remaining, Accent Assurances pulled their goalie in a late push, but it wasn’t
enough. Manmade came away with a solid 5–2 victory.

Play of the night: A straight-up robbery by Ève Gascon, who sprawled across the crease
to flash the glove on a one-timer from none other than Poulin. A highlight-reel moment if
there ever was one.
