Abby Roque has established herself as one of the most accomplished Indigenous players in women’s hockey and a dynamic two-way forward on the international and professional stages. Born September 25, 1997, in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, Roque played collegiately at the University of Wisconsin, where she became the first Indigenous player to captain an NCAA Division I women’s hockey team. She went on to represent the United States at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games and multiple IIHF Women’s World Championships, becoming an important member of the U.S. National Women’s Team.

Roque joined the PWHL with New York for the league’s inaugural 2024 season before moving to the Montréal Victoire. Her first season in Montréal was particularly productive, as she recorded 22 points in 29 regular-season games and continued to increase her offensive production. Her combination of physical play, speed and offensive ability made her an important part of Montréal’s lineup, while her status as a prominent Indigenous athlete has also made her an influential figure both on and off the ice.

Roque reached a new career milestone in 2026 when she helped lead the Montréal Victoire to the franchise’s first Walter Cup championship. She was outstanding throughout Montréal’s playoff run, tying Marie-Philip Poulin for the PWHL postseason scoring lead with eight points—including four goals and four assists—in nine games. Roque scored twice in Game 1 of the Walter Cup Final, including the overtime winner, and then scored twice again in the championship-clinching Game 4 victory over Ottawa. Her four playoff goals tied for the league lead, while her two game-winning goals were also tied for the most in the playoffs. Following the championship season, Montréal re-signed Roque to a two-year contract, ensuring that one of the club’s most impactful forwards would remain with the Victoire through the 2027–28 season.
