Victoire sign Maya Labad

MONTRÉAL – The Montréal Victoire announced on Sunday that the club has signed forward Maya Labad to a Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Standard Player Agreement (SPA).

Labad was originally signed as a Reserve Player for the Victoire at the conclusion of training camp. The 23-year-old forward from Mascouche, QC was selected in the fifth round (36th overall) in the PWHL Draft in June.

The signing corresponds to the placement of forward Jade Downie-Landry on long-term injured reserve (LTIR), retroactive to Nov. 19, after suffering an upper body injury during an off-ice workout.

The Victoire open the season this afternoon against the Boston Fleet at 1 p.m. ET at the Tsongas Center.
