He would add two goals and an assist for three points in 10 games during the Kelly Cup Playoffs. Montgomery becomes the fourth forward and sixth player to sign with the Admirals for the 2025-26 season.
The 27-year-old began his career overseas in Belgium, where he played with the Liege Bulldogs. In 21 games with the Bulldogs, he put up 14 goals and 16 assists for 30 points.

“Sean has solidified our third-line center position and first penalty kill group for the last two years,” said Jeff Carr, Admirals General Manager & Head Coach. “He is the unsung glue-player of our forward group. He will be asked to do more and be utilized on the power play and situations that showcase his elite shot.”
