Montminy came to the Rush last season as a rookie in North American professional hockey, and had a banner year as a first-year professional. He forward became the fifth rookie in team history to amass 20 goals in a season, which led the team, coupled with 18 assists for 38 points in 60 games, good enough for second in team scoring last year.

Prior to jumping to the pro ranks, Montminy played 19 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League games with the Drummondville Voltigeurs in 2014-15, but spent the vast majority of his junior career in the QJAAAHL, where he was coached by 2003 Stanley Cup Champion Pascal Rheaume as a member of the Sherbrooke College-Champlain Cougars.
