Those taking in the Cirque du Soleil show CRYSTAL at the Bell Centre were introduced to Montreal's professional women's hockey team captain.

To few hockey fans' surprise, it was four-time Olympic medalist Marie-Philip Poulin.

A figure skater revealed the 32-year-old left winger was the captain during the show, as Montreal gets set for its first game in Ottawa on Jan. 2.

"Captain Clutch" won gold medals with Team Canada at the Olympics in Vancouver (2010), Sochi (2014) and Beijing (2022) and won a silver in 2018 in Pyeongchang.

Montreal's assistant captains will be Beijing gold medalist Erin Ambrose, 29, and Laura Stacey, 29, who played with Canada in Beijing and Pyeongchang.

Montreal's first home game will be at the Verdun Auditorium on Jan. 13 against Boston.
