The GIST: Sharpen your skates because, before pre-season mini camps get underway soon, the PWHL released the Year Two schedule yesterday, with the action set to begin on November 30th. While waiting for puck drop, let’s break down the league’s sophomore schedule by the numbers.

90: The total number of games on the 2024–25 schedule. The Boston Fleet, Minnesota Frost, Montréal Victoire, NY Sirens, Ottawa Charge, and Toronto Sceptres will each play 30 regular-season games, an increase from the 24 played in the league’s debut season.

Three: The number of international breaks to account for the Women’s Euro Hockey Tour (December 9th through 16th), the Canada-USA Rivalry Series (February 3rd through 10th), and the 2025 Women’s World Championship (April 3rd through 25th). So much hockey, so little time.

8,140: The number of seats at the Coca-Cola Coliseum, the new home of the Sceptres. Toronto played most of last season’s home games at the 2,500-seat Mattamy Athletic Centre, but after selling out season ticket memberships for the second straight year, it was time to move on to bigger and better.

18: As in the 18th of December, when the Sirens will play their first home game at the Prudential Center, home of the NHL’s New Jersey Devils. Numerous game venues were left off the initial schedule release, signaling that the PWHL might build off last season’s success in Detroit and Pittsburgh and test out hosting games at more neutral sites and NHL rinks. Yes, please.
