On January 17, 2024, The Professional Women's Hockey League released the following statement:
"The post-game handshake line, which has been an on-ice fixture following PWHL games, will resume with tonight's contests in Toronto and Ottawa. Tuesday night, a miscommunication caused handshakes not to be conducted following the game between New York and Montréal at Place Bell. The PWHL regrets this lapse in protocol and apologizes for any confusion it may have caused our fans."
