In 59 games, Montgomery recorded 22 points (six goals, 16 assists) and 76 PIMs. He played in all 22 games against NCAA opponents and recorded six points (one goal, five assists) and played a very physical game, leading the team in penalty minutes against NCAA opposition with 45 PIM.

Talent Analysis
Montgomery plays an offensive style of play, using his quick skating for mobility. Montgomery is a defensively sound player despite his offensive play. He has great hockey smarts and knows exactly when to make a crisp pass and when to use his stick handling skills to go end to end. Montgomery does not play the most physical game you’ll find but he knows his best assets are his skating and stick handling so he uses them to their fullest whether it be in the defensive zone taking the puck away from the opposition or whether it be at the point on the powerply. Montgomery gives his all every game. He plays a similar style to that of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Tomas Kaberle.
