The expansion of women’s professional hockey is taking a bold step as St. Louis is primed to host one of the nine neutral-site regular-season games for the Professional Women s Hockey League s (PWHL) Takeover Tour. The much-anticipated matchup between the Ottawa Charge and the Boston Fleet is set to steal the spotlight on March 29 at the Enterprise Center, confirming the city’s engagement with the emerging league and its elite athletes, as reported byThe Hockey News.
Excitement surrounding the PWHL Takeover Tour was clear, with PWHL Senior Vice President of Business Operations, Amy Scheer, expressing optimism for the league’s expansion. “Bringing PWHL games to fans across both countries is a natural next step as we continue building our audience,” Scheer said in an announcement picked up byNHL s official site. The tour aims to not just showcase the game but also to spark further interest and lay a foundation for increasing the league’s presence across North America.
With St. Louis having a proven love for hockey, the choice of the Enterprise Center positions the city in the company of other major hubs like Seattle, Vancouver, and Qu bec City in Canada, and Raleigh, Detroit, Denver, and Buffalo in the United States all set to host games. This closely aligns with the PWHL’s vision of amplifying engagement with the sport and its legions of talented players, a sentiment echoed byKSDK.
The significance of the event to St. Louis is clear, with Blues organization s President and CEO Chris Zimmerman stating, “The Blues organization is honored to have the opportunity to host the PWHL,” as first reported byNHL s official site. Zimmerman stressed the importance of the game as a focal point to further accelerate the growth of women’s hockey in the region. Prospective attendees are sure to take the opportunity to grab tickets during the presale starting on Thursday at 9:00 a.m. CT, before the general sale on Friday at 10:00 a.m. CT, with details available at the league s official website.
As the PWHL pushes boundaries and looks to grow, they are also to potentially play neutral-site games in Europe.
