The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) today announced that Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, WA will host one of the nine neutral-site regular-season games in the PWHL Takeover Tour™. This exciting tour brings the intensity of PWHL hockey to new cities across North America, giving fans a chance to experience the top women’s hockey players in the world in their own communities.
As part of this special tour, Montreal and Boston will face off on Sunday, January 5, with the game beginning at 1:00 pm PT at Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle, WA. Tickets will be available starting with a presale on Thursday, Nov. 21 at 1:00 pm PT, followed by the general on-sale on Friday, Nov. 22 at 10:00 am PT. Tickets can be purchased at thepwhl.com/tickets.
The nine games of the PWHL Takeover Tour will be contested in a variety of locations across the United States and Canada, sprawling from the Pacific Northwest with Seattle and Vancouver to as far East as Québec City and as far South as Raleigh, N.C. Only Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, which was home to a PWHL contest March 16 and housed a U.S. professional women’s hockey attendance record of 13,736, will serve as the return host of a neutral-site game in the League’s second season.
“Bringing PWHL games to fans across both countries is a natural next step as we continue building our audience,” said Amy Scheer, PWHL Senior Vice President of Business Operations. “When exploring potential locations for a PWHL game, the enthusiasm from cities eager to engage with our League was incredibly encouraging. The PWHL Takeover Tour lets us showcase our game and exceptional athletes across a wider North American footprint—an exciting moment for our players and an important move for our business as we consider expansion.”
Steve Mattson, EVP and General Manager of Climate Pledge Arena noted, “We believe we have one of the strongest markets in the country for hockey and women’s sports. Proven by not only success of our home teams the Seattle Kraken and Storm, but the events we are privileged to host. In 2022, we hosted the USA vs. Canada Women’s hockey matchup, boasting the highest attendance in that Rivalry Series history. We could not be more thrilled to welcome the PWHL and their fans to experience the best arena in professional hockey”.
