Three Franco-Albertans Leading the Way for the Edmonton Wolves

The Edmonton Wolves — back-to-back AJFHL champions — continue to make headlines both on and off the ice. A recent Radio-Canada feature highlights three Franco-Albertan players who are proudly representing their culture and community while contributing to the Wolves’ ongoing success. 

Forwards Carolyne Lavoie and Brigitte Hétu, key members of the team’s championship runs, have been joined this season by defender Élianne Baril, who transferred to Edmonton after three years with the Lakeland College Rustlers. Together, the trio balances hockey, education, and life beyond the rink, proving that a passion for the game and a connection to the community can go hand in hand.

📊 Current 2025–26 Season Stats:

• Carolyne Lavoie — 11 GP | 2 G | 9 A | 11 PTS
• Brigitte Hétu — 10 GP | 4 G | 3 A | 7 PTS
• Élianne Baril — 8 GP | 1 G | 3 A | 4 PTS

In the article, each player shares her personal journey — from late starts and academic goals to finding balance within a program that allows them to compete at a high level without sacrificing their studies or future ambitions.

As the Wolves prepare for their upcoming international trip to Sweden and Finland this December, these three players embody the spirit of teamwork, perseverance, and pride that defines both their team and the AJFHL.
