Montreal Gazette - Winning doesn't come easy

'Every year it gets harder and harder,' Martlets coach says of yet another national title Two days after winning a third Canadian Interuniversity Sport women's hockey championship in four years, McGill Martlets head coach Peter Smith was already back in his office planning for next season.

"Busy recruiting for next year," Smith said Tuesday. "It never stops." The Martlets captured the CIS title on Sunday with a 5-2 win over the St. Francis Xavier X-Women in the goldmedal game in Waterloo, Ont. McGill went into the six-team national tournament as the No. 1 seed for the fifth straight year after posting a 20-0 record to finish first in the Quebec conference for the sixth consecutive year and the seventh time in school history.
