New York’s Professional Woman’s Hockey League team to play home games at Total Mortgage Arena starting January 5th
The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) has announced that its New York franchise will play home games at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with the team’s historic home opener scheduled for Friday, January 5, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. ET against Toronto. The league announced home openers for all six of its teams on Tuesday, with the inaugural season scheduled to begin on New Year’s Day in Toronto.
“Having the privilege to showcase our skills in front of our dedicated fans, in a top-tier arena, represents an opportunity that impeccably aligns with the professional standards upheld by the PWHL,” said Pascal Daoust, PWHLNew York General Manager. “It promises to be a premier sports experience not only for our athletes but also our fans, allowing them to gather in greater numbers and take immense pride in standing united behind our team!”
The PWHL officially launched in August with the introduction of six original teams and the foundation to assemble rosters featuring the best women’s hockey players in the world. Among the stars suiting up for New York are Olympians Alex Carpenter, Abby Roque, Micah Zandee-Hart, and the team’s fourth overall draft pick Ella Shelton.
“We are extremely excited to welcome PWHL New York to Total Mortgage Arena for what we know is going to be an exciting season,” said OVG360’s Joe Dolan, General Manager of Total Mortgage Arena. “It is a great opportunity to be a part of the inaugural season and we look forward to welcoming some the world’s top players to Bridgeport.”
Total Mortgage Arena, located in downtown Bridgeport, is a 10,000-seat sports and entertainment arena that hosts over 130 live events every year including family shows, sporting events, and concerts. It is home to the Bridgeport Islanders, the AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders.
Fans who placed ticket deposits will receive a link for priority access to purchase PWHL season ticket plans beginning Nov. 30. Early access to ticket information will also be sent directly to PWHL e-newsletter subscribers who are registered for updates at this link.
