Professional Women’s Hockey League Announces Sold-Out Games at Madison Square Garden and TD Garden

The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) has announced that two upcoming games in New York and Boston have sold out, marking a significant milestone for the league.

The New York Sirens will host the Seattle Torrent at Madison Square Garden on April 4, while the Boston Fleet will face the Montréal Victoire at TD Garden on April 11. Both games have reached full capacity.

With seating for approximately 19,500 fans at Madison Square Garden and about 19,850 at TD Garden, the contests are expected to produce the largest home crowds in franchise history for both the Sirens and the Fleet.

The games will also mark the first time the PWHL has staged matchups at the two arenas, which are among the most prominent venues in North American sports.

“Selling out both Madison Square Garden and TD Garden is a true testament to our fans, whose passion has fuelled the growth of the PWHL,” said Amy Scheer, the league’s executive vice-president of business operations. 

“Playing for the first time at these two world-class arenas will be another step in what has already been a historic season for our league, and the atmosphere for fans and players alike will be nothing short of incredible.”

Notably, the current PWHL attendance record was set on February 27, when 17,335 fans attended a game at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle between the Seattle Torrent and the Toronto Sceptres. If the upcoming games in New York and Boston reach their full capacities, both could surpass that mark.

League officials say the sellouts reflect growing demand for professional women’s hockey and the increasing visibility of the PWHL in major markets.

“Playing in front of sold-out buildings at Madison Square Garden and TD Garden is a historic moment for our athletes – and our sport,” said Jayna Hefford, the PWHL’s executive vice-president of hockey operations.

“As they’ve shown time and again, when the spotlight is brightest, our players show up, giving two capacity crowds in New York and Boston the chance to see their world-class talent on full display.”
