The Montréal Victoire announced this week that forward Abby Roque has agreed to a two‑year PWHL Standard Player Agreement, securing the star’s services through the upcoming season and beyond.
Roque was instrumental in the club’s inaugural Walter Cup triumph, contributing four goals and eight points during a playoff run that capped a breakout year for the franchise.
During the regular season she posted a career‑high 14 assists and 22 points, tying for tenth place in the league in both categories, while appearing in 22 of 24 games.
Her durability is underscored by the fact that she has missed only a single game in her PWHL career, accumulating 52 points in 83 appearances.
Beyond club play, Roque has represented the United States on the international stage, earning a silver medal at the 2022 Olympics and adding three medals from the IIHF Women’s World Championship.
The victory lap continues with the team revealing that nine players have already signed contracts for the next campaign, a foundation that general manager says will be bolstered by fresh talent.
A Milestone Season for the Victoire
Roque’s return not only reinforces the offensive depth that helped the club clinch its first championship but also signals the franchise’s intent to remain competitive as the league expands.
Fans can expect a blend of seasoned leadership and youthful energy as the team looks to defend its title and make a deep run in the next Walter Cup.
With the draft approaching, the organization is already mapping out how new prospects might complement the existing core, a strategy that aligns with the club’s long‑term vision.
