Breaking news: The PWHL Montreal team has been sued by many parents for the missing of their are children who are their players.
Montreal, March 29, 2025 – In a shocking turn of events, the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Montreal team has been sued by multiple parents after reports surfaced that several of their players have gone missing under mysterious circumstances. The lawsuit, filed earlier today in Quebec Superior Court, alleges negligence, misconduct, and failure to ensure the safety of the athletes.
Families in Distress
The legal action comes after weeks of growing concern among the families of at least four players who have not been seen or heard from since early March. Parents claim they were initially reassured by team officials that their daughters were simply focused on their rigorous training schedules. However, as the days stretched into weeks without any direct contact, suspicions grew, leading to police involvement.
One of the plaintiffs, Marc Desrosiers, whose daughter, 21-year-old rookie forward Amélie Desrosiers, has been missing for nearly three weeks, expressed his anguish outside the courthouse.
“We trusted the team to take care of our children, to ensure they were safe while pursuing their hockey dreams,” Desrosiers said. “Now, we have no idea where they are, and the organization is giving us nothing but vague statements.”
Team’s Silence Raises Concerns
PWHL Montreal officials have so far issued only a brief statement, acknowledging the concerns but denying any wrongdoing.
“We are cooperating fully with law enforcement and remain committed to the well-being of our players. We understand the distress of the families and will provide updates as the investigation unfolds,” the statement read.
However, no clear explanation has been given regarding the players’ whereabouts, fueling speculation about what may have happened.
Police Investigation Underway
Montreal police have confirmed that an official investigation is underway. Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities, including foul play, voluntary disappearance, or external threats targeting the players.
Sergeant Élodie Lambert of the Montreal Police Department addressed reporters at a press conference earlier today.
“We are actively working to locate these individuals and are treating this case with the utmost urgency. We urge anyone with information to come forward,” she said.
When pressed for further details, Lambert declined to comment on whether any suspects had been identified or if there were signs of criminal activity.
The Lawsuit’s Allegations
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of at least six families, alleges that the team failed in its duty of care to protect the players. The key allegations include:
- Failure to Report Missing Players Promptly – Parents claim they were not immediately informed when their daughters stopped showing up to practice and team events.
- Lack of Transparency – The lawsuit accuses team officials of withholding crucial information and misleading families about the situation.
- Negligence in Player Safety – Some parents believe the team did not have proper security measures in place, potentially allowing players to be harmed or coerced into leaving.
Attorney Sophie Bertrand, representing the families, criticized the team’s response.
“This is not just about a sports organization; this is about young women who have gone missing under suspicious circumstances,” Bertrand stated. “The team’s failure to act appropriately has only added to the parents’ suffering.”
Possible Theories and Speculation
As news of the case spreads, speculation has begun circulating about what might have happened. Some theories being considered include:
- Voluntary Disappearance – Could the missing players have left on their own accord? While unlikely, investigators are exploring whether they may have left due to pressure, stress, or personal reasons.
- Human Trafficking Concerns – Some fear a more sinister scenario involving external actors, given the rising cases of human trafficking in North America.
- Internal Misconduct – The possibility of foul play within the organization itself has not been ruled out. Were the players subjected to mistreatment that led to their disappearance?
Community Outrage and Calls for Accountability
The incident has sparked outrage among fans and the broader hockey community. Many are calling for immediate action from both the PWHL leadership and local authorities.
A protest is scheduled outside the PWHL Montreal team’s headquarters tomorrow, where supporters of the missing players’ families plan to demand more transparency and accountability.
Social media has also erupted with hashtags like #FindOurPlayers and #JusticeForPWHLPlayers, with fans, former athletes, and advocacy groups expressing their concern.
Hockey Canada, the governing body for the sport in the country, issued a statement saying they are monitoring the situation closely and offering support to the affected families.
What’s Next?
As the investigation continues, the families remain desperate for answers. The next hearing in the lawsuit is set for early April, where the plaintiffs will push for court-ordered disclosures from the team.
For now, the biggest question remains: Where are these players, and what happened to them?
The world is watching as the case unfolds, and the hope is that answers—and justice—will come sooner rather than later.
