PWHL Takeover Tour Hits Edmonton: Toronto vs. Ottawa in a Thrilling Showdown
Hockey fans in Edmonton, get ready! The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) is bringing its highly anticipated Takeover Tour to town, and it’s going to be electric. This Sunday, February 16, the Toronto Sceptres and Ottawa Charge will face off at Rogers Place in front of a sold-out crowd. This game isn’t just another battle between two fierce rivals—it’s a chance for Edmonton to showcase its love for women’s hockey and prove that the city is ready for its own PWHL expansion team.
Toronto and Ottawa have had an intense season series so far, with both teams winning two games each. The Charge dominated their last game, setting a league record with eight goals in a single game against Minnesota. Forward Tereza VaniÅ¡ová was the star of the night, netting her first hat trick since her college days. Meanwhile, Toronto is riding a three-game winning streak, with Hannah Miller leading the charge on offense. The Sceptres’ defense has also been rock solid, thanks to key performances from Renata Fast and Sarah Nurse .

This game is more than just points in the standings—it’s about momentum. Toronto is looking to extend their winning streak, while Ottawa is aiming to prove that their last victory wasn’t just a one-time explosion. Expect a fast-paced, physical matchup between two teams that don’t like giving an inch to their opponent.
For some players, this game is even more special. Edmonton-born Danielle Serdachny and Stephanie Markowski , along with goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer from nearby Bruderheim, will get to play in front of their hometown crowd. Maschmeyer, who has been a wall in net for Ottawa this season, is set to start, adding even more pressure for Toronto’s offense to break through.
The game will also feature a powerful tribute to women in sports . Players will be wearing special jerseys as part of Molson’s "See My Name" campaign, promoting recognition for female athletes. Canadian Tire is hosting a live podcast recording, and several female leaders from Edmonton will take part in the ceremonial puck drop. The city is embracing the PWHL in full force, with iconic landmarks like the High Level Bridge and City Hall lighting up in purple to celebrate the event.
This matchup isn’t just about today—it’s about the future of women’s hockey. With the massive support from Edmonton fans, could this game be a preview of what’s to come ? If the energy in Rogers Place is anything like past events, Alberta might just be the next big hockey market for the PWHL.
So, hockey fans, whether you're in the arena or watching live on TSN, get ready for an unforgettable showdown . The stakes are high, the talent is elite, and the atmosphere will be electric. Who will take home the win—Toronto or Ottawa? We’re about to find out!
