Kaleigh Fratkin celebrated a Clarkson Cup with the Boston Blazers of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League on March 7.
The Burnaby defenceman helped the Blazers to a 3-2 win in overtime over the Montreal Stars to claim Boston’s second cup title in three seasons.
The Blazers advanced to the final with earlier back-to-back 3-0 and 7-3 wins over the Toronto Furies in a best-of-three semifinal series.
Fratkin, a plus-two player for Boston in the playoffs, had an assist in the opening playoff shutout over Toronto on March 4.
The last time Boston and Montreal faced off in a Clarkson Cup final was two years ago, when the Blades beat the three-time defending champions Stars 5-2, to win their first-ever women’s hockey title.
The seventh annual Clarkson Cup final, coined the Stanley Cup of women’s hockey, was played in Markham, Ont.
