DETROIT, MI (June 17, 2026) – The Montréal Victoire selected six players in the 2026 PWHL Draft presented by Upper Deck, adding three forwards, two defenders and one goaltender to the organization’s roster. These selections add depth to the team’s lineup ahead of the 2026-27 season, joining nine players already under contract.
“We have just been through quite the draft night. Everything was impeccable and in those conditions, we added so many talented players to our roster. Each of them fits perfectly with the identity and style of play we want to establish in Montréal. I also want to highlight the outstanding work of our entire hockey operations department, led by Mikaël Nahabedian—their thorough preparation and the many hours they put in leading up to the draft were essential to this outcome. We’re now very excited to bring this group together and reconnect with the energy of our fans,” said Montréal Victoire General Manager Danièle Sauvageau.
