The 2023–24 PWHL Montréal season is the team's inaugural season as a member of the newly created Professional Women's Hockey League. They play their home games at the Verdun Auditorium in Montreal and at Place Bell in the suburb of Laval.

Offseason

On September 1, 2023, Montréal hired Daniele Sauvageau as its general manager.[5] The team then hired Kori Cheverie as its first head coach on September 13.[6] In November, it was announced that the team would split its home games between the Verdun Auditorium and Place Bell.[7]

On September 5, Montréal announced the signings of its first three players, Canadian national team members Marie-Philip Poulin, Laura Stacey, and Ann-Renee Desbiens.[8] Poulin was named team captain, with Stacey and Erin Ambrose named assistant captains.[9]

Regular season

Montréal played its first ever game on January 2, 2024, against Ottawa at TD Place Arena. In front of what was a women's professional record sell-out crowd of 8,318, Montréal won the game in overtime by a score of 3–2 on a goal by Ann-Sophie Bettez; Claire Dalton scored the first goal in team history in the second period.[10] Montréal hosted its first game on January 13, with Boston visiting Verdun Auditorium. In front of a sell-out crowd, Boston won 3–2 in overtime; Ambrose scored the first home goal in team history.[11] The team hosted its first game at Place Bell on January 16, defeating visiting New York by a score of 3–2, with Poulin scoring the game-winning goal.[12]
