Sarah Nurse Ready to Make Waves with New PWHL Team in Vancouver
VANCOUVER, AUG 2 – Sarah Nurse’s involvement is helping expand the Professional Women’s Hockey League, boosting visibility and participation in women’s sports in Vancouver.
- Sarah Nurse signed a one-year free-agent contract on Aug. 2, 2025, after going unprotected by the Toronto Sceptres in June’s expansion draft, joining Vancouver.
- The PWHL, after two years, expanded to eight teams with new Vancouver and Seattle franchises, extending its westward reach.
- The Vancouver franchise will be the only PWHL team with primary-tenant status at its home arena, unused since 2016 when the Vancouver Giants moved to Langley.
- Putting tickets on sale, season-ticket packages for Vancouver went on sale before the schedule for PWHL’s third year was released.
- Hailing the opportunity, Nurse said, 'The opportunity for me to be able to help start an expansion franchise in a market that really has never had women’s hockey before was really cool for me,' and added, 'I’m excited to see how the pieces are going to fall together.
