Maltais needs 10 points to crack PWHL's all-time top 10 continued from p. 24 last week, Maltais became the first Hornet to record 100 career points. Over the coming weeks, Maltais will quickly climb the PWHL's alltime scoring list. Currently tied for 36th with 109 points, she needs just 20 more to crack the top 10. Chances are, had she not missed two months last year with a broken wrist, she may already be there. And as much as Maltais doesn't pay attention to numbers, there was one that piqued her interest when brought to attention. With three more points, she will equal the PWHL career total of one of her hockey heroes, Natalie Spooner. The national team veteran had 112 points in 77 games for the Durham West Lightning. Maltais has scored her 109 in 71 games. Next season, Maltais will follow Spooner's career path when she begins her collegiate career at Ohio State University. She has plenty to keep her busy until then. In addition to chasing Oakville's first championship, Maltais will almost certainly be a member of Canada's world under-18 team that will be looking to avenge its overtime loss to the U.S. in the gold-medal game. Maltais and Hornet teammates Sarah Fillier and Brooke Jovanovich played in the under-18 team's threegame summer series against the Americans. Adzija, Victoria Klimek and blueliner Meaghan Hector were also invited to the team's summer evaluation camp, giving the Hornets a deep lineup. Maltais and Fillier, who has a league-best eight goals, have teamed up with Annie MacDonald to form the PWHL's most dangerous line. Adzija's presence on the second line makes it difficult for opponents to key on the top line. Laura Cote, benefitting from 13 games as a call-up last year, already has five goals. Hector and Rickwood are the league's top scoring blueliners and rookie goalies Madison Oakes and Maddy McArthur have held opponents to 1.21 goals a game. "We knew we had a good returning group, a couple of good imports and some really talented, skilled players coming up from midget," Maltais said. "We found a way to work together and everybody's playing their role. It's really exciting to be playing the way we are." If the Hornets can keep it up, Maltais won't be the only one making history.
