PWHL's Charge staying in Ottawa after reaching deal to play in NHL Senators' arena, AP sources say
The team averaged 13,416 fans in playoff games, and the larger arena could keep the Charge in Canada’s capital, people said.
- The PWHL's Charge will remain in Ottawa next season, reaching an agreement to play home games at the NHL Senators' Canadian Tire Centre, two people with knowledge of discussions told The Associated Press this week.
- City renovations at the team's former home reduced seating capacity by about 2,000 seats, which the PWHL determined could not meet fan demand and made financially unfeasible to operate.
- Attendance at the Canadian Tire Centre reached 17,114 for a regular-season game, while the team averaged 13,416 fans per playoff outing at the 18,655-capacity arena.
- Securing this agreement prevents the Charge from leaving Canada, preserving the franchise in the capital after three seasons at the former home and a loss in the Walter Cup Finals to Montreal last month.
- Officials anticipated the deal following productive discussions in March, though the agreement remains subject to finalization in the coming weeks, and CBC Sports has not independently confirmed the report.
