**COMMENT** According to CBC News (established source), Maggie Flaherty and Hayley Scamurra scored 24 seconds apart early in the second period, leading the Montreal Victoire to a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Frost in the PWHL playoffs. This event highlights the strong influence of positive role models, specifically young hockey players, on their peers and fans. The direct cause → effect relationship is that the performance of young hockey players serves as a positive role model, which can inspire and motivate other young people to engage in healthy activities and make positive choices. The intermediate steps in the chain include the players' dedication, skill, and sportsmanship, which create a favorable environment that can influence youth behavior. The timing of this effect is immediate, as the players' actions can have an impact on their peers and fans right away. This news impacts several civic domains, including youth mentorship and positive role models, as well as sports and recreation. The evidence type for this comment is an event report, and the confidence score is 100/100 due to the credibility of the source. The key uncertainties in this scenario are the long-term effects on the youth and the potential for other sports to serve as similar role models. --- Source: [CBC News](https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/pwhl/montreal-victoire-minnesota-frost-game-3-recap-9.7192164?cmp=rss) (established source, credibility: 100/100)
