PWHL Sells Out Madison Square Garden and TD Garden for April Showcases

A post‑Olympics surge in interest is pushing women’s pro hockey toward new U.S. attendance highs.

Overview

  • The New York Sirens’ April 4 game vs. the Seattle Torrent at Madison Square Garden is sold out and is expected to surpass the U.S. pro women’s hockey attendance record.
  • Boston’s April 11 matchup between the Fleet and Montréal Victoire at TD Garden is also sold out, marking the venue’s first PWHL game and positioning it to challenge the U.S. mark.
  • MSG seats 18,006 for hockey and TD Garden seats 17,850, both above the current U.S. record of 17,335 set Feb. 27 at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena.
  • League data show season-to-date attendance up about 17% year over year, with teams and the PWHL crediting heightened visibility from the 2026 Winter Olympics.
  • Olympians headline the rosters for these games, though Seattle captain Hilary Knight is on long-term injured reserve, while Boston expects medalists Megan Keller, Aerin Frankel and Haley Winn to feature.
