“The Battle on Bay Street” broke the attendance record of 18,013 set at the 2013 world championships in Ottawa, Ontario, for a preliminary round game between Canada and Finland. Minnesota set the previous PWHL mark of 13,316 for its home opener against Montreal on Jan. 6 at Xcel Energy Center.
“It just shows that demand for women’s hockey and women’s sport.” Campbell said after the team’s first game at the home of the NHL’s Maple Leafs. “Playing in this venue was something that we’re always going to cherish for the rest of our lives.”
PWHL games have been awesome. I hope the league thrives in the coming years
