The Hockey News ran an op-ed today detailing how the private operators of TD Coliseum are making sure the Professional Women’s Hockey League see that Hamilton is ready to host a PWHL expansion team.
And the venue just fired a shot across the bow at every other venue on the PWHL Takeover Tour to show the league how fitting and ready TD Coliseum would be to house a PWHL franchise.
Ahead of Hamilton’s January 3 stop on the Tour, which will feature a game between the Seattle Torrent and Toronto Sceptres, Hamilton laid down the PWHL Takeover Tour logo at center ice of the TD Coliseum.
In the PWHL, only the expansion Vancouver Goldeneyes have their team logo at center ice, and the Ottawa Charge are the only other team in the league with their logo anywhere on the ice as the Charge have their logo just inside the blueline, albeit significantly smaller than the OHL’s Ottawa 67s.
Fresh from an estimated $300-million renovation, the venue now boasts a 17,383-seat capacity. The op-ed notes Hamilton is well located to draw fans from across Southern Ontario and Western New York State, and many PWHL teams will be able to use ground transport to play against a Hamilton team.
