Montreal joined Dandenong for the 2012 SEABL season after his Boise State career, with the New York-born forward beginning a long Rangers stint that became his only verified Australian state league stop.
Montreal helped Dandenong win the 2012 SEABL East Conference title, missing the semi-final win over Geelong with an ankle injury before returning for the conference final and hitting the late three-pointer that put the Rangers ahead in a 73–72 win over Geelong.
Dandenong reached the 2012 SEABL championship game against Albury-Wodonga, where Montreal finished with 14 points and eight rebounds and tied the game at 63–63 on a contested lay-up with 47 seconds remaining before leaving late with a shoulder injury in the Rangers’ 65–63 loss.
Montreal remained with Dandenong for the 2013 SEABL season and opened the year with 22 points, six rebounds and five assists in a 96–87 win over Albury-Wodonga, then had 28 points, nine rebounds and four assists in a four-point win over Mount Gambier as the Rangers moved to the top of the East Conference on percentage.
Dandenong won the 2013 SEABL championship, with Montreal scoring 46 points on 15-of-21 shooting, 4-of-7 from three-point range and 12-of-14 at the free-throw line, adding 10 rebounds and three assists in the Grand Final win over Mount Gambier to earn the Hugh McMenamin Medal as best player on court.
Montreal returned to Dandenong for the 2014 SEABL season and averaged 23.4 points and 7.6 rebounds, earned SEABL Player of the Week honours in rounds 5 and 12, was named to the SEABL All-Star Team and helped the Rangers put together a 13-game winning streak during a run of 17 wins from 18 games.
Dandenong’s 2014 season included a 104–69 road win over Hobart in round 19, where Montreal had 28 points and 12 rebounds, and he was averaging 23 points and seven rebounds late in the regular season with the Rangers sitting on top of the SEABL East Conference before the playoffs.
Montreal continued with Dandenong in 2015, reached his 100th SEABL game during an 81–75 win over Frankston, and at that point his first 100 SEABL games had produced 2,144 points at 21.4 points per game, 7.0 rebounds per game, two SEABL East Conference titles, the 2013 SEABL championship, the 2013 Hugh McMenamin Medal and 2013 and 2014 SEABL All-Star Team selections.
Montreal averaged 23.6 points per game in 2015, led Dandenong to a fifth straight playoff appearance, won the SEABL Men’s MVP and was again named to the SEABL Men’s Team of the Year.
Dandenong’s 2015 playoff run ended in the SEABL East Conference preliminary final against Geelong, where Montreal had 24 points and 10 rebounds in a 97–80 loss.
Montreal returned to Dandenong for the 2016 SEABL season after signing a two-year deal, opened the season as a returning frontcourt piece alongside Lucas Walker, scored 30 points in a 93–79 win over Kilsyth in round 3, then added 20 points and eight rebounds in an 87–85 win over Geelong and 24 points with nine rebounds against North West Tasmania during the early part of the season.
Montreal played college basketball at Boise State across the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons after arriving as a junior transfer from the College of Southern Idaho and signing a National Letter of Intent with the Broncos on April 23, 2009.
In the 2009–10 season, Montreal appeared in all 31 games and made 13 starts while averaging 10.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, producing 18 games in double figures and recording two 20-point outings during his debut year in the program’s rotation under head coach Greg Graham.
During that 2009–10 campaign, he earned a place on the WAC All-Newcomer Team and was also named All-WAC Honorable Mention, finishing the regular season ranked eighth in the league in offensive rebounds and tied for 14th in blocks.
A notable early-season highlight came in Boise State’s 96–59 win over Houston Baptist on December 19, 2009, when Montreal posted the first double-double of his Broncos career with 16 points and 12 rebounds, an effort that also earned him Boise State’s Bronco Athlete of the Week recognition for the December 14–20 window.
In the 2010–11 season, Montreal played 35 games for Boise State and averaged 10.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 26.1 minutes per game while shooting 46.4% from the field, 17.6% on three-pointers, and 75.8% at the free-throw line as the Broncos went 22–13 overall (10–6 WAC) in Leon Rice’s first season as head coach.
That 2010–11 Boise State team finished second in the WAC and advanced to the NIT quarterfinals, beating Austin Peay and Evansville before a 79–71 loss at Oregon, with Montreal operating alongside key contributors such as La’Shard Anderson, Robert Arnold, and Paul Noonan during the postseason run.
