<p>On Friday, the Minnesota Frost announced that the team has <a href="https://www.thepwhl.com/en/news/2025/july/18/minnesota-frost-sign-goaltender-marl-ne-boissonnault-to-a-one-year-contract">signed goaltender Marlène Boissonnault </a>to a one-year standard player agreement for the 2025-26 season.</p>



<p>The Frost is the second team Boissonnault has been a part of since the PWHL opened up play two seasons ago. She started off on the main roster of Montreal, but never saw any game action behind Ann-Renée Desbiens and Elaine Chuli. The Dundee, New Brunswick native was cut during training camp last year, as the Victoire ultimately went with Sandra Abstreiter as their third goaltender.</p>



<p>Boissonnault found her way to St. Paul in March, when the Frost added her to their reserve list in March after Minnesota’s previous third-stringer, Lucy Morgan, <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/ottawa-charge-place-emerance-maschmeyer-long-term-injured-reserve">was signed by the Ottawa Charge</a>. Boissonnault once again didn’t see the ice, as Maddie Rooney and Nicole Hensley backstopped the team to <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/minnesota-frost-score-overtime-win-2025-walter-cup-ottawa-charge-liz-schepers">a second straight Walter Cup</a>.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="144"></div>



<p>“I’m thrilled to be returning to Minnesota this upcoming season,” Boissonnault said in a release. “This organization has become home, and winning the Walter Cup with this group was something I’ll never forget. I can’t wait to build on that and get back in front of our amazing fans.”&nbsp;</p>



<p>Prior to the PWHL, the 28-year-old spent parts of four seasons in the PWHPA with Calgary and Team Harvey’s. She also had a fruitful college career at Cornell University, leaving the school as the second-winningest goaltender in program history, earning 56 wins over her four years with the Big Red.</p>



<p>It’s interesting to see the Frost have three goaltenders signed to their main roster heading into next season, with Hensley on the books for one more year and Rooney having<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/minnesota-frost-signs-maddie-rooney-three-year-contract-extension-pwhl-hensley"> signed a three-year extension</a>. The two-time defending champions have almost never had three netminders signed to SPAs at the same time. </p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="151"></div>



<p>With the signing of Boissonnault, the Frost have 18 of a possible 23 players signed to standard contracts for next season. So far, they have signed just two of their six draft picks, <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/minnesota-frost-sign-pwhl-draft-kendall-cooper-quinnipiac-two-year-contract">as Kendall Cooper</a> and <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/minnesota-frost-signs-abby-huslter-two-year-contract-pwhl-draft">Abby Hustler have agreed</a> to two-year deals.</p>
