No you get it. This is it.
Poulin was 18 at her first olympics. Team canada wanted her to stay with a host family during training because she had never lived on her own before. So caroline ouellette, charline labonté, and kim st-pierre took in this teenage prodigy so she'd have exactly the mentors she needed, and 20 years later poulin is a five-time olympic medalist, captain of team canada, and captain of a champion team in a women's professional hockey league bigger than anything her mentors had. And caroline is on the ice to celebrate with her and be part of the future she worked for.
I love women supporting and uplifting and mentoring and creating the next generation of groundbreaking women in sports, and I love it when they're lesbians.
