Bois most recently coached Canada’s Bishop’s University, spending four seasons with the program (two as head coach, two as an associate). She helped lead the team to their first U SPORTS National Championship in 2024-25.
“This organization truly aligns with my values, especially in its commitment to building a strong team both on and off the ice,” Bois said in a team statement. “What drew me to the Sirens is their focus on creating a team culture rooted in respect, integrity, and growth. It’s an honor to be part of a league and program that is not only developing young, dynamic talent with great veteran leadership already in place, but also building an identity grounded in purpose and long-term progress.”
Sirens General Manager Pascal Daoust said Bois is a “natural fit” with the Sirens.
“Valerie is truly what you’d call a year-round, career coach,” said Sirens General Manager Pascal Daoust. “She has successfully held both head coach and assistant coach roles – winning multiple championships – across different levels, with both men’s and women’s teams, sometimes even within the same season.
“She is passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to helping every athlete she works with reach their full potential and will be a natural fit within the culture and values of the New York Sirens family,” Daoust continued.
The Sirens finished the 2024-25 season with an 8-4-5-13 record and 37 points, finishing last in the PWHL standings and missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
