For the first time since the start of its inaugural season in January, the PWHL will be making its debut at the Bell Centre — home of the Montreal Canadiens and the biggest hockey arena in North America.
General tickets for the April 20th game between Montreal and Toronto went on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET and sold out in under 20 minutes, setting the league up to break the world record for largest attendance for a professional women’s hockey match.
They stream their games live on YouTube. My wife has been watching them despite no interest in hockey prior. It’s fun to watch.
Us, too!
But I will say that if those “ad breaks” turn into actual ads, I probably won’t be watching it for long. Sporting ads specifically are awful and usually consist of gambling ads. I enjoy the PWHL, but not that much.
I love so many of the rules. The penalty-kill jailbreak is wild, and the 3-2-1 points breakdown for teams is absolutely fantastic.
