Jillian Dempsey has signed a one-year contract with the Montreal PWHL.
With less than a week until PWHL training camps begin, Montreal has signed forward Jillian Dempsey, their sixth player and third draft pick, to a one-year contract.
She is a legend in Boston women’s hockey, and now she will be on the other side of a long-standing and heated rivalry.
There are some members of the Habs organization who have ties to Boston. Harris, Struble, Tuch, Newhook, Matheson, Kovacevic, Farrell, and Hutson (to name a few) all played for a team in Massachusetts. Hughes studied and resided in Boston, where his son plays for Northeastern, while Gorton worked for the Bruins. It’s already the Montreal Bostonians.

She expressed her thanks for being chosen by Montreal and drew parallels between the strong fan bases of Boston and Montreal. Despite the unpredictability of women’s professional hockey, Dempsey remains committed to playing at a high level and negotiating a new deal with Montreal.
