Marlène Boissonnault (born June 19, 1997) is a Canadian ice hockey goaltender, currently playing for PWHL Montreal of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).

Playing career

Boissonnault started playing hockey at a young age, moving up the minor hockey system. She would then play for Rothesay Netherwood School in Rothesay and later took the chance to play for Cornell University.[1] Across four years of NCAA Division I women's ice hockey with the Cornell Big Red of ECAC Hockey, Boissonnault finished with 56 wins, the second highest total in the university's history, and 15 shutouts, the third most in Cornell history.[2] In 2019, the team made the Frozen Four.[3]

After she graduated, she joined the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA), as the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) had just folded and she felt more aligned with the goals of the PWHPA than the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL).[4]

International play

Boissonnault represented Canada at the 2015 IIHF Women’s World U18 Championship, winning a silver medal.[5] In 2017, she was named to the National Women’s Development Team roster.[6]

Personal life

Boissonnault has a pre-med degree from Cornell University.[7]
