Les Canadiennes went with seven defenders to start the season, but with Julie Chu missing some games, they were a group of six for the most part. Sophie Brault and Chelsey Saunders started the season on defence, but Saunders moved back to forward near the end of the year.
Both Brault and Saunders got to play in the Outdoor Women's Classic against the NWHL Champion Boston Pride in Foxboro before the alumni game between the Canadiens and Bruins. They also both played in all Canadiennes playoff games over the last two seasons.
