This was a monumental day for girls, past, present and future, across the state of Colorado. Women’s professional hockey arrived in the Centennial State this weekend. The culmination of the PWHL Takeover celebration was a 4-2 victory Sunday for the Minnesota Frost against the Montreal Victoire at Ball Arena.

The league had previously set the record at a neutral-site game between Ottawa and Boston in Detroit (13,736) last season. But Sunday night’s draw of 14,018 fans at Denver’s Ball Arena – home of the NHL ’s Colorado Avalanche and NBA’s Denver Nuggets – is now the largest crowd to watch a pro women’s hockey game in the U.S.

The PWHL is on its third stop of its nine-city Takeover Tour, and has been met with raucous sold-out crowds so far.

Out PWHL player Marie-Philip Poulin won the league's first 'star of the week' honor, as two teams set a record in Denver. The post PWHL sets another women’s hockey attendance record, this time in a city without a team appeared first on Outsports.
