In the first round (fourth overall), Montréal selected defender Nicole Gosling.
Gosling (5’7”) completed her collegiate career as the Clarkson University Golden Knights’ all-time leading scorer among defenders with 148 points (44G, 104A) in 170 career games in five seasons. The 23-year-old London, ON native followed up her 2023-24 ECAC Defender of the Year award with 39 points in 40 games for the second straight season in 2024-25 to earn back-to-back First-Team All ECAC honors.
