MONTRÉAL, QC (June 17, 2025) – The Montréal Victoire announced on Tuesday that the club has signed forward Hayley Scamurra to a two-year Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Standard Player Agreement.
Scamurra (5’8"), a veteran of two PWHL seasons, scored one goal and added two assists in 25 games between the Ottawa Charge and Toronto Sceptres in 2024-25, on top of helping the U.S. National Women’s Team win the gold medal at the IIHF Women’s World Championship in April. The Buffalo, NY native has represented her country in six World Championships, bringing back three gold and three silver medals. The 30-year-old also helped Team USA earn a silver medal in the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, scoring a goal and adding two assists in seven games.
"Hayley is a power forward who works hard in all three zones. She’s proven herself not only in our league, but also on the international stage. Her compete level and ability to impact the game with her physicality and sound play on both sides of the puck make her a valuable addition to our group," said Victoire General Manager Danièle Sauvageau.
In Montréal, Scamurra will play under Kori Cheverie once more, as she played for the Victoire head coach during the 2022-23 PWHPA season, helping Team Harvey's hoist the Secret Cup.
