Poulin currently serves as the captain of the PWHL’s Montreal Victoire, and won the league’s Billie Jean King Most Valuable Player Award in 2024-25. She also has two CWHL Clarkson Cup championships and is a three-time CWHL Jayna Effort Most Outstanding Player Trophy winner.

As for Guerrero Jr., the Blue Jays’ first baseman finished the 2025 season with 23 home runs, 84 runs batted in (RBI), a .292 batting average with an on-base + slugging percentage (OPS) of .848 in 156 games.

Guerrero Jr. has been one of baseball’s best athletes through the postseason, batting .412 with a 1.330 OPS, hitting eight home runs and 15 RBIs. Guerrero Jr. also has 13 walks and only six strikeouts in 17 games.
