Following her release from Canada's Centralization Camp in preparation for the 2018 Winter Games, Maschmeyer was traded to Les Canadiennes, becoming their starting goaltender. Erin Ambrose, who had also been released from Centralization, joined Maschmeyer in Montreal, having been traded from the Toronto Furies.
In the 2018–19 season, Maschmeyer gained the second All-Star selection of her career, playing with Alex Rigsby for Team Purple in the 4th Canadian Women's Hockey League All-Star Game.
