"The game is sold-out and should set a new mark for largest attendance for a women's hockey game in the United States. Madison Square Garden holds 18,006 fans for hockey and with no unsold tickets remaining, that should be the new record number after this weekend."
"The Sirens typically play at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, and their current record for largest home crowd is 8,264. The largest PWHL attendance ever came back in 2024 when PWHL Montreal hosted PWHL Toronto in front of 21,105 fans at the Bell Centre."
"It's been a difficult season for the Sirens, who currently sit sixth in the PWHL standings, only above the expansion Vancouver Goldeneyes and Torrent. Their playoff hopes are still alive."
The New York Sirens are set to face the Seattle Torrent at Madison Square Garden, with expectations of breaking the attendance record for women's hockey in the U.S. The game is sold out, potentially surpassing the current record of 17,335. The Sirens, currently sixth in the PWHL standings, hope to improve their playoff chances with a win. The league has seen significant growth, with Madison Square Garden previously hosting a women's game in 2021 without fans due to COVID-19 restrictions.
