The PWHL has unveiled the locations for the 2025-26 Takeover Tour, with the Boston Fleet scheduled to compete in three games across three different cities.
This season’s tour will feature 16 games in 11 locations, including seven new stops: Calgary, Chicago, Dallas, Halifax, Hamilton, Washington, D.C., and Winnipeg. The league will also return to Denver, Detroit, Edmonton, and Québec City.
Fleet Takeover Tour Schedule:
- Saturday, January 3: Boston vs. Vancouver — Little Caesars Arena, Detroit
- Sunday, January 11: Boston vs. Ottawa — Scotiabank Centre, Halifax
- Tuesday, April 7: Boston vs. Vancouver — Rogers Place, Edmonton
While each matchup promises excitement, one game in particular will hold special meaning for the Fleet. The January 11 game against Ottawa in Halifax marks a homecoming for forward Jill Saulnier, a Halifax native and 2022 Olympic gold medalist.
Nova Scotia will host two PWHL games this season, beginning with a Montreal–Toronto matchup on December 17.
“We are so excited to welcome the PWHL to the Scotiabank Centre,” said Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston in a video announcement.
The league’s continued expansion remains a clear focus. Amy Scheer, PWHL Executive Vice President of Business Operations, discussed the league’s growth during a recent presentation to the Ottawa City Council.
“We are going to expand at least two to four teams next year,” Scheer said. “We are in growth mode. This league is exploding.”
The Fleet opened their 2025-26 training camp today, featuring several changes from last season’s roster.
