Women's Hockey Makes Triumphant Return to Edmonton
The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) has confirmed it will be returning to Rogers Place in Edmonton for two neutral-site games during the current season. This announcement marks another significant moment for women's professional hockey in Alberta, building on the league's successful inaugural season.
The decision to host neutral-site games in Edmonton demonstrates the city's strong support for women's hockey and follows previous successful PWHL events held at the venue. Rogers Place, which previously hosted PWHL action on February 16, 2025, will once again welcome top-tier women's hockey talent to its ice surface.
Building on Previous Success
Edmonton hockey fans will remember the exciting matchup that took place earlier this year when the Toronto Sceptres faced off against the Ottawa Charge. That game featured standout players including Hannah Miller of the Toronto Sceptres and Ottawa Charge's Rebecca Leslie and Danielle Serdachny, who battled intensely for puck possession throughout the contest.
The upcoming neutral-site games represent the league's commitment to expanding its footprint across Canada and bringing professional women's hockey to markets that have demonstrated strong fan support. Edmonton has proven to be one of these valuable markets, with enthusiastic crowds attending previous PWHL events.
What This Means for Hockey Fans
For Edmonton-area hockey enthusiasts, these games provide a unique opportunity to witness PWHL action without having to travel to other Canadian cities. The neutral-site format means that teams that don't normally play in Edmonton will be competing at Rogers Place, offering fans a chance to see different players and team dynamics.
The specific dates, matchups, and ticket information for the two games are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Hockey fans are encouraged to monitor PWHL official channels for the latest updates and ticket availability as these details become available.
This announcement reinforces Edmonton's position as a key hockey market in Canada and demonstrates the growing popularity and stability of the Professional Women's Hockey League. The continued expansion of neutral-site games helps build the league's brand awareness and provides more opportunities for fans across the country to experience professional women's hockey firsthand.
