The PWHL’s first visit to Denver went so well last winter, the women’s professional hockey league decided to make a return trip.
Make that two return trips, to be exact.
The league announced two visits to Ball Arena for its upcoming Takeover Tour, with the Vancouver Goldeneyes and Seattle Torrent facing off in downtown Denver on Jan. 25, and New York Sirens and Minnesota Frost coming to town on March 15.
Colorado hockey fans set an American attendance record for women’s professional hockey during a visit last January, with 14,018 fans showing up at Ball Arena for a game between the Minnesota Frost against the Montreal Victoire.
Both games are set to be played on Sundays, with puck drop set for 4 p.m. for the Jan. 25 visit between Vancouver and Seattle, and 2 p.m. for New York vs. Minnesota on March 15.
This season’s PWHL tour will visit 11 different locations between the U.S. and Canada, with games at seven new cities, including Calgary, Chicago, Dallas, Halifax, Hamilton, Washington, D.C., and Winnipeg. Last year’s tour drew 123,601 fans with record-breaking crowds across nine games.
“Season Two’s PWHL Takeover Tour was the first of its kind, giving fans across North America the chance to experience the excitement of a regular-season game in their home venues,” Amy Scheer, PWHL Executive Vice President of Business Operations, said in a news release. “The passion and support from fans, and the enthusiasm from cities eager to engage with our league, have fueled our ambition to grow the Tour for Season Three.”
The PWHL is currently comprised of eight teams in Boston, Minnesota, Montréal, New York, Ottawa, Seattle, Toronto, and Vancouver. The league added expansion teams in Seattle and Vancouver ahead of the 2025-26 season, and the league is planning on another round of expansion in the next couple of years.
Presale tickets go on sale starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, and the general sale begins at 10 a.m. Friday. Tickets can be purchased at thepwhl.com/tickets.
