The Boston Fleet announced Tuesday that they will play a game at TD Garden for the first time this spring.
The PWHL club will host the Montreal Victoire on April 11 at the home of the NHL’s Boston Bruins and NBA’s Boston Celtics.
“Hosting a Fleet game at TD Garden is an exciting milestone for our organization,” Fleet business operations director Laura Marie Davey said. “Playing at such an iconic venue presents an incredible opportunity to showcase the PWHL on one of the biggest stages in sports and to connect with fans from across Greater Boston.”
TD Garden has a capacity for nearly 18,000 spectators for ice hockey, nearly three times more than the Fleet’s home at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Mass.
“We’re honored to welcome the PWHL’s Boston Fleet to TD Garden for their first game this April,” said Glen Thornborough, president of TD Garden and COO of the Boston Bruins.
“TD Garden is built to give world-class athletes and fans a world-class stage, and we’re proud to bring the PWHL onto a platform that delivers the full NHL-level experience they deserve. The growth of women’s sports is inspiring, and adding more premier women’s events to our calendar is something we’re energized to champion.”
TD Garden also hosted the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun for games in each of the past two summers, with both games selling out.
