The top professional women’s hockey league is coming to Winnipeg in March of 2026 for a Takeover Tour neutral site game.
The PWHL will hit the ice at Canada Life Centre on Mar. 22 as the Montreal Victoire face the Ottawa Charge, with puck drop set for 6 p.m.
A total of 11 different cities will host 16 Takeover Tour games in the continued efforts to showcase the growth of the PWHL across North America.
Last season’s tour drew 123,601 fans with record-breaking crowds across nine games, enhancing fan engagement and expanding the PWHL’s reach beyond its home markets.
The PWHL expanded for this coming season to Vancouver and Seattle to give the league eight teams.
The Victoire roster includes defender Kati Tabin of Winnipeg, while the Charge roster features defenders Jocelyne Larocque of Ste. Anne and Ashton Bell of Deloraine and goalie Logan Angers of Winnipeg.
“This event reflects our commitment to creating opportunities for young women to see themselves represented on the professional stage, and we are proud to play a small role in creating this moment for our community,” Annie Chipman Stockl, True North Sports and Entertainment vice-president of marketing said in a press release.
Ticket pre-sales begin this Thursday at 10 a.m., while the general sales are open to the public this Friday at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.ca or thepwhl.com/tickets.
