Minnesota Frost vs. New York Sirens: Hilary Knight and Kendall Coyne Schofield to Head a History-Making Game by PWHL

The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) certainly topped itself when Minnesota Frost Lake faced off against New York Sirens in front of a historic 14,288 people at the Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, turning what had once been a dream into an era. U.S. women's hockey history has been marked by this event as a new attendance record for any indoor professional women's hockey has been created-it surpassed Denver's 14,018, which had previously held its record only two months ago.

This game between the Frost and Sirens was meant to be intense and high energy, with stars like Knight and Schofield leading the way for their teams. The viewers experienced top-equal hockey, which shows that women's professional hockey has an audience that is prepared to support the sport in much broader terms. Players' skill and dedication electrified the arena and left an indelible mark on the spectators.

It is modeled after the PWHL's Takeover Tour. Detroit's attendance is just the latest in their series of games designed at attracting fans in so-called potential expansion cities. The league has quickly been on an upswing as its numbers grow. This year, matches average over 7,000, compared to last year's 5,500. Also, the Detroit event counted a significant milestone: the league officially crossed the record of 1 million fans overall.

While this game now holds the U.S. record, the world attendance record still belongs to last year when Montreal and Toronto battled it out in that city before 21,105 spectators. The momentum clearly continues to build, and the PWHL appears to be on track for even larger future records.
The tour will end on March 29 in St. Louis, with the Ottawa Charge meeting the Boston Fleet. Another huge crowd is expected to converge in the city south of the border given the momentum gained along the course of the tour.

The night in Detroit that saw record-breaking crowds for the PWHL was indicative of the league gaining recognition and increasing demand for women's professional hockey. The increasing attendance figures at the close of every game continue to buttress the committed and rapidly growing fan base. This argument is further enhanced by the somewhat successful Takeover Tour: the cities that have participated have shown strong support, with Detroit as an example. The tour heads to its final stop in St. Louis with great momentum and hopes of even larger records in the future. Women's hockey is alive and well, and everyone has a good prospect for the future.
