(Peter McCabe/The Canadian Press) Montreal's Victoire announced Monday that it has signed defender Kati Tabin to a two-year contract extension, keeping her with the team through the end of the 2026-2027 season. Tabin, who played for the Victoire during the first two seasons of the Women's Professional Hockey League (LPHF), scored four goals and racked up as many assists in 28 games last season. The 28-year-old athlete also delivered 26 hits, finishing second on the Victoire behind captain Marie-Philip Poulin. In 52 games with the Montreal team, she has scored five goals and nine assists. 'Kati is an invaluable part of our team, both on the ice and in the locker room,' said Victoire general manager Danièle Sauvageau in a press release. 'Over the past two seasons, we have seen tremendous improvement in her level of play. Her ability to contribute on both sides of the ice makes her an important part of our team, and we are delighted to have her back with us.' Tabin was selected 30th overall in the inaugural PWHL draft in 2023. After a four-season university career with the Quinnipiac University Bobcats, she played for the Connecticut Whale and Toronto Six in the PHF. 'I am extremely happy to stay in Montreal and continue to represent this team and this city that I love so much,' said the Winnipeg native. 'We will continue to work hard as a group to win a championship for this city.' Tabin is the ninth player signed for the 2025-2026 season for the Victoire. She joins defender Erin Ambrose and Amanda Boulier, goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens, and forwards Marie-Philip Poulin, Laura Stacey, Kristin O'Neill, Maureen Murphy, and Lina Ljungblom.

Montreal Victoire re-sign Kati Tabin to 2-year deal
June 17 - The Montreal Victoire re-signed defender Kati Tabin to a two-year contract extension on Monday, the team announced. Tabin, 28, had four goals, four assists and 26 hits in 28 games last season after posting one goal and five assists in 24 games with the Victoire a year prior. "I am extremely happy to remain in Montreal and to keep representing this team and city that I love so much," Tabin said in a release. "We will continue to work hard as a group to bring a championship to this city." After losing four players in the expansion process earlier this offseason, re-signing Tabin became one of Montreal's top priorities. Monday was the first day teams could re-sign players on expiring contracts following the expansion draft. "Kati is an invaluable part of our team, both on the ice and in the locker room," Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said in a statement. "Over the past two seasons, we've seen tremendous growth in her game, and she continues to elevate her play each year. "Her ability to contribute at both ends of the rink makes her a key piece of our lineup, and we're thrilled to have her back." The Winnipeg native was selected in the fifth round (30th overall) in the inaugural PWHL draft in 2023. After spending four collegiate seasons at Quinnipiac, the 5-foot-8 defender played for the Connecticut Whale and Toronto Six in the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF). The Victoire have eight players signed for the 2025-26 season and hold six picks in the upcoming PWHL draft, including the fourth overall selection. The draft will be held on June 24. --Field Level Media

The New York Sirens put a boost into their faint Professional Women's Hockey League playoff hopes with a 1-0 win over the first-place Montreal Victoire on Tuesday night in front of 8,798 at Place Bell in Laval, Que.
