Having been born and raised in Quebec, Mia Lavoie initially declared for Team Canada in the IIHF. However, after some discussion with the General Managers of Team France, she and her partner Edouard Lavoie recently switched over to play for the og Frenchies. From a language perspective it was a mostly easy transition, a few oui oui hon hons here, a few baguettes there no problem. From a roster perspective it just turned out to be a really fun switch as France has some pretty cool people kicking around. They're a pretty chill, easygoing bunch that might actually make the IIHF a little more fun for me, as historically it's just kind of been a meh aspect of the league.
