Marlène Boissonnault (born June 19, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender signed as a reserve for the Minnesota Frost in the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). She previously was signed by the Montreal Victoire.

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]

Boissonnault spent the 2023-24 PWHL season as the third goaltender for the Montreal Victoire but did not play a game. She attended their 2024-25 training camp but did not make the roster.[5] After Lucy Morgan was signed by Ottawa on March 14, 2025, the Minnesota Frost signed Boissonnault to a Reserve Player Contract.[6]

International play

Boissonnault represented Canada at the 2015 IIHF Women’s World U18 Championship, winning a silver medal.[3][7] In 2017, she was named to the National Women’s Development Team roster.[8]

Personal life

Boissonnault has a pre-med degree from Cornell University.[9]
