The Professional Women's Hockey League team has announced their regular-season schedule, with the puck dropping in Vancouver first.
PWHL Vancouver’s inaugural home opener is set for Friday, Nov. 21 against fellow expansion team PWHL Seattle, in the first of 13 regular-season games to be played at the Pacific Coliseum.
The team’s full 2025-26 regular season schedule of 30 games was announced by PWHL Vancouver Wednesday (Oct. 1) , noting the Vancouver team’s home opener will help launch the league’s third season as part of an opening day double-header.
“It’s truly special to be starting our season at home in the Pacific Coliseum. As a little girl, I dreamed of this moment, and I can’t wait to live it with my teammates and the fans on November 21,” said PWHL Vancouver forward Jenn Gardiner in a release.
“Over the past few months, we’ve connected with so many incredible fans, and seeing the arena filled on game day will make it a season opener to remember forever. Vancouver has always been home, and it’s the honour of a lifetime to represent this city. The passion, excitement and support we’ve felt from the community fills me with gratitude and honestly gives me chills. Together, let’s make the Coliseum the loudest rink in the league. Let’s go, Vancouver!”
The PWHL will pause the 2025-26 season for two International breaks, the first in early December and the second, from Jan. 29 to Feb. 25 for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, where several PWHL Vancouver players are expected to suit up for their home countries.
The Montréal Victoire return to Vancouver during the holiday season, on Dec. 20, while the Toronto Sceptres will bookend the Olympic break, playing in Vancouver on Jan. 22 and Mar. 1, the PWHL release said.
The Minnesota Frost — the PWHL's reigning Walter Cup Champions — will visit the Pacific Coliseum April 25, 2026 for PWHL Vancouver’s final home game of the regular season.
