Montreal has found their new head coach, as the PWHL franchise is set to announce Kori Cheverie as their new bench boss.

Kori Cheverie will serve as the head coach for Montreal's PWHL franchise. It's a move general manager Daniele Sauvageau hinted at, which has now been confirmed.

Earlier this offseason Cheverie was named a guest coach of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins for the 2023-2024.

Last season, Cheverie, 36, was an associate head coach with the PWHPA's Team Harvey's helping to guide Harvey's to a Secret Cup title.

Cheverie, 36, was an assistant coach with Canada's national women's team, winning gold at the 2022 Olympics and gold at the 2021 and 2022 World Championships, as well as silver this year at the World Championships in Brampton, Ontario.

Cheverie continues to break down barriers after being the first woman to serve as a coach in Canada's men's national team program acting as an assistant coach for Canada's U-18 men's national team program in 2022. She broke a similar barrier at the USports level as the first woman to be named a full-time assistant coach at the Canadian university ranks coaching with Ryerson University, now Toronto Metropolitan University, from 2016-2021.

Cheverie joins Toronto's Troy Ryan as the head coaches that have been unofficially named.
