About Ann-Renée Desbiens
Ann-Renée Desbiens, a goaltender for PWHL Montreal and a distinguished member of the Canadian women's national ice hockey team, stands as a beacon of resilience and skill in the hockey world. Her journey, marked by overcoming barriers and achieving historic milestones, underscores her indomitable spirit and exceptional talent between the pipes.
Desbiens' path was not without its challenges, notably being cut from a junior men’s league team in a move that underscored the gender biases prevalent in the sport. Yet, her resolve remained unshaken, leading to an illustrious stint with the University of Wisconsin, where she shattered records and collected accolades, including the prestigious Patty Kazmaier Award. Her senior year culminated in setting a new NCAA record for career shutouts, a testament to her dominance on the ice. Despite facing exhaustion and the dilemma of professional play post-2018 Olympics, Desbiens' passion for hockey reignited, leading her to make significant impacts both in men’s leagues and at the 2020 NHL All-Star Game.
With the formation of the PWHL, Desbiens became a foundational player for Montreal, poised to elevate the league and continue her legacy. Her international career is equally illustrious, adorned with Olympic and World Championship medals, underscoring her pivotal role in Team Canada’s successes. Off the ice, Desbiens' academic achievements in accounting and her admiration for Patrick Roy reflect her multifaceted identity and the depth of her commitment to excellence in all pursuits.
Ann-Renée Desbiens represents more than just her statistical achievements and accolades; she embodies perseverance, breaking down barriers for female athletes and setting new standards in women's hockey. Her journey offers rich narratives of resilience, excellence, and the relentless pursuit of dreams, making her a compelling and inspirational figure in the hockey community and beyond.
