The Boston Fleet begin their third PWHL season at Tsongas Center in Lowell, Mass. with a matinee matchup against the Montreal Victoire on Nov. 23.
The 30-game schedule features eight contests in Lowell and four games at Agganis Arena in Boston, with only two stoppages for an International break beginning Dec. 8 and the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo beginning Jan. 29.
The Fleet will face former captain Hilary Knight on Dec. 21 when Boston travels to Seattle for a 5 p.m. ET puck drop at Climate Pledge Arena. Knight returns to Boston on Jan. 7 to face her former team at Agganis.
“There isn’t a single opponent we can afford to overlook this season,” Fleet general manager Danielle Marmer said in a press release. “The competitive balance in this league is incredible, and now with the addition of Seattle and Vancouver the intensity and competitiveness are only going to rise. We know we’ll need to bring our best effort every night and find a way to play consistent hockey throughout the season.”
Boston’s longest road trip of the season, five games, takes place after the Olympic break, beginning on Feb. 28 against the Ottawa Charge at TD Place.
“From my conversations with the players, it’s clear there’s a lot of excitement to get going,” Fleet head coach Kris Sparre said, per the release. “We had a very strong draft, and Danielle has done an outstanding job bringing in high character people who complement the strong culture already in place. With that being said, the addition of Seattle and Vancouver has brought the league to a new level, setting the stage for very competitive hockey. I’m sure November 23rd is now circled on everyone’s calendar as we are all excited to open the season at home in front of our amazing fans.”
While the rosters for the national teams have not yet been released, the women’s preliminary round begins on Feb. 5 with 10 nations — United States, Canada, Finland, Czechia, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Japan, Italy and France — competing for gold.
