VANCOUVER, BC (October 1, 2025) – PWHL Vancouver’s inaugural home opener is set for Friday, Nov. 21 against fellow expansion team PWHL Seattle, in the first of 13 regular-season games to be played at the Pacific Coliseum.
The team’s full 2025-26 regular season schedule of 30 games was announced today by the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), with PWHL Vancouver’s home opener helping to launch the league’s third season as part of an opening day double-header.
“It’s truly special to be starting our season at home in the Pacific Coliseum. As a little girl, I dreamed of this moment, and I can’t wait to live it with my teammates and the fans on November 21,” said PWHL Vancouver forward Jenn Gardiner. “Over the past few months, we’ve connected with so many incredible fans, and seeing the arena filled on game day will make it a season opener to remember forever. Vancouver has always been home, and it’s the honour of a lifetime to represent this city. The passion, excitement and support we’ve felt from the community fills me with gratitude and honestly gives me chills. Together, let’s make the Coliseum the loudest rink in the league. Let’s go, Vancouver!”
During the 2025-26 season, the PWHL will pause the season for two International Breaks. The first will begin Dec. 8, with PWHL Vancouver resuming games on Dec. 16 at home against the Ottawa Charge. The league will also pause from Jan. 29 to Feb. 25 for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, where several PWHL Vancouver players are expected to suit up for their home countries.
Fans will be anticipating the return of the two teams that took part in the PWHL’s Takeover Tour game held in Vancouver last January. The Montréal Victoire return to Vancouver during the holiday season, on Dec. 20, while the Toronto Sceptres will bookend the Olympic break, playing in Vancouver on Jan. 22 and Mar. 1.
A five-game homestand in March will end with PWHL Vancouver hosting the reigning Walter Cup champions, the Minnesota Frost, for the first time, on Mar. 21. The Frost will return to the Pacific Coliseum once more on Apr. 25 for PWHL Vancouver’s final home game of the regular season.
“It is exciting to take another step towards our inaugural season with the release of our 2025-26 schedule,” said PWHL Vancouver General Manager Cara Gardner Morey. “We look forward to beginning our pursuit of the Walter Cup and introducing our team to Vancouver when the puck drops at the Pacific Coliseum on November 21.”
