The PWHL made it official, the first expansion franchise in league history will be Vancouver, British Columbia.
In front of a crowd at the Pacific National Exhibition, the PWHL announced that Vancouver would get a franchise in time for the 2025-2026 season. The new team will be the primary tenant at the Pacific Coliseum. The Coliseum is the former home to the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks.
Here’s PWHL executive vice president of business Amy Scheer discussing the decision to expand to Vancouver.
