Mikyla Grant-Mentis

Mikyla Grant-Mentis (born July 15, 1998) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward for the Seattle Torrent of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). She is the all-time leading scorer of the Merrimack Warriors women's ice hockey team and made history in 2021 as the first Black player to win the Most Valuable Player award of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF), becoming the most decorated player in a single PHF season with a record four accolades.

Grant-Mentis played four years of NCAA Division I ice hockey at Merrimack College from 2016 to 2020, where she established herself as one of the program's most prolific scorers. She finished her collegiate career with 117 points (56 goals and 61 assists) in 137 games, setting program records for all-time points and assists while ranking second in goals.

After brief stints with the Buffalo Beauts in 2020, she joined the expansion Toronto Six for their inaugural 2020–21 season, where she tied for the league lead in points during the pandemic-shortened season and helped guide the Six to the regular season title. Her outstanding performance earned her the league's MVP, Newcomer of the Year, Foundation Award for community service, and Fans' Three Stars of the Season—the first player in league history to win four awards in a single season. She continued her success with the Six in 2021–22, leading the team in scoring and becoming the first player in PHF history to record a six-point game.

Grant-Mentis was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 for North America 2022 in the sports category at age 23, recognizing her impact both on and off the ice. Following the PHF's dissolution in 2023, Grant-Mentis joined the newly formed PWHL, playing for the Ottawa Charge, Montreal Victoire, and currently the Seattle Torrent.
