RELATED VIDEO : In less than two weeks, a PWHL game will be played in Edmonton for the first time. It's a chance for fans to watch the world's best female hockey players at Rogers Place . As Nicole Stillger explains, there's a lot of excitement for the historic event – Feb 3, 2025When the Toronto Sceptres and Ottawa Charge meet Sunday at a sold-out Rogers Place , it will feel like more than a one-off game.
But Serdachny said that the stakes are much higher than a game between the Charge, who sit last in the six-team PWHL with 17 points and a 5-0-2-8 mark, and the Sceptres, in third with 21 points . It’s a chance for Edmonton to show that it can be a city that is home to a PWHL team.
“So I think any time you get to play in a city, especially with the Takeover Tour, it’s all about what the city has to offer. And I know Edmonton to be such a passionate fan base with the Oilers. They are going to definitely bring that energy and support.”Markowski said the topic of westward expansion — the league’s westernmost team is current the Minnesota Frost — comes up often with family and friends in Edmonton. They want to see the league get into the Mountain and Pacific time zones.
“Starting the season without her, and the presence that she brought every game, was a bit of a hole in our lineup,” said Turnbull. “So, for us to have her back is huge. She adds so much value, not only the way she plays on the ice, but to what she brings in our dressing room and to our practices.” Ticketmaster shows that only resale tickets are available for the game, with some seats on offer for more than $500 each.
