The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) made history with its inaugural games in Toronto and Ottawa. In Ingersoll, Ontario, Ella Shelton scored the league's first-ever goal, marking a significant moment for women's sports. The PWHL Ottawa team faced off against Montreal in their season opener, attracting a record crowd of around 8000 passionate fans.

The PWHL is already sparking excitement with the potential team name for Ottawa. The application to trademark 'Ottawa Alert' has sparked a debate among fans - what do you think of this catchy name? New York's team had a strong start, shutting out Toronto 4-0, with Ella Shelton and Schroeder leading the way. The league is showcasing top talent and competitive games.

In a surprising move, PWHL introduced a new shorthanded goal rule, adding an extra layer of strategy to the games. Toronto faced setbacks in the inaugural game, but the league is set to grow and evolve with these rule changes. The PWHL is gearing up for an exciting season with the release of the official rulebook and a focus on player development and competitive play.
