The Two Teams Are Excited To Showcase Their Talented Players in Pittsburgh

Many players in the Montreal vs Toronto game are excited to be able to showcase their hockey in Pittsburgh with the support of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Laura Stacey of the PWHL Montreal team commented on the upcoming game in Pittsburgh:

Laura Stacey (@PWHL_Montreal) on the upcoming PWHL game in Pittsburgh: "We can't wait for it. We've had some great games against Toronto. And to have it in Pittsburgh, a city that really goes out of their way to support women in hockey, it's a really special moment." pic.twitter.com/vJW2puO1FF— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) March 12, 2024

Last month the PWHL set a new women's hockey attendance record with a sellout crowd at Scotiabank Arena to watch Toronto take on Montreal.

World. Record. Broken.

Let's hope that the PWHL is successful in Pittsburgh and can hopefully soon expand into the city.
