Brandon Montour's story
Raised partly in Ohsweken and having spent formative years in Tilbury, Brandon Montour grew up splitting time between hockey and box lacrosse around the Six Nations community. He attended Assumption College School in Brantford and earned a Minto Cup with the Six Nations Arrows after seasons of junior lacrosse in Windsor, experiences that complemented his on-ice development.
Montour moved from junior B in the GOJHL to the USHL with the Waterloo Black Hawks in 2013, and after a strong campaign he joined the University of Massachusetts Amherst for the 2014–15 season. His play drew NHL attention and Anaheim selected him in the second round, 55th overall, at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. He turned pro late in 2014–15 with the Norfolk Admirals in the AHL.
He spent time developing in the AHL with the San Diego Gulls before being recalled by Anaheim; Montour made his NHL debut on December 29, 2016 against the Calgary Flames and scored his first NHL goal on February 6, 2017 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. He established a career-high 32 points in 2017–18 with the Ducks and was traded to the Buffalo Sabres on February 24, 2019 for Brendan Guhle and a 2019 first-round pick.
On April 10, 2021 he was dealt to the Florida Panthers for a 2021 third-round pick. After signing an extension in Florida, Montour broke out in 2022–23 with 16 goals and 73 points, a total that ranked among the league leaders for defencemen. He played a role in Florida’s run to the 2024 Stanley Cup championship. As a free agent, Montour signed a seven-year, $49.98 million contract with the Seattle Kraken on July 1, 2024.
Internationally, Montour was named to Canada’s roster for the 2019 IIHF World Championship but suffered a tournament-ending lower-body injury on May 13 in a 6–5 win over Slovakia, finishing the event scoreless in three games. On the ice he is known for mobility from the blue line and an ability to activate offensively while managing his defensive responsibilities.
