Montreal s Mikyla Grant-Mentis (18) carries the puck through the neutral zone during the second period against Toronto on March 17, 2024 at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA. PWHL Seattle announced the signing of forward Mikyla Grant-Mentis to a two-year agreement through the 2026-27 season.
Grant-Mentis, 26, joins the expansion team after recording eight points in 30 games with the Montreal Victoire last season. She spent the inaugural PWHL season with Ottawa following four seasons in the PHF, where Grant-Mentis was named the league’s MVP in 2021.
“Mikyla is a skilled forward who brings a dynamic element to our offense,” PWHL Seattle general manager Meghan Tuner said. “She has a great ability to find open space in the offensive zone and pushes the pace through the neutral zone to create chances off the rush. We’re excited to add her vision and creativity to our group in Seattle.”
Grant-Mentis is a Brampton, Ontario native who graduated from Merrimack College as the program’s all-time leading scorer. She is the fourth player added to Seattle’s roster since the expansion draft, joining forwards Lexie Adzija and Natalie Snodgrass along with defender Mariah Keopple.
“I’m super excited to get the opportunity to play for PWHL Seattle in its inaugural season,” Grant-Mentis said. “Playing at Climate Pledge last year for the Takeover Tour, you could feel the energy Seattle had for women’s hockey. I cannot wait to get things started in a city that is very passionate about women’s sports.”
