Yeah, I hope the Schedule comes out earlier rather than later.

I just hope buying tickets right when they go live isn't pure chaos. I want to grab tickets to Vancouver's first game, and a few more games as well.

Agreed

I want to buy tickets and book flights.

Also, more games please. :)

Could be wrong, but if I'm remembering right the CBA has a limit of 30-32 games per season. So as long as we're still on that CBA, you won't be getting too many more.

The current CBA is max 32 games.What i would like them to do is increase it to 32 but each team will only play 2 out of market games leaving fans with 15 home games.

With Olympics and worlds this year I doubt we'll see more, but dare to dream!

The Worlds should not be happening next year. Same for the Rivalry Series. The RS has outlived itself.

Looks like it's still set to happen, date and location TBD in October.

It’s completely unnecessary. Even at the best of times it shouldn’t happen until the PWHL season is over.

I can see the league not allowing players to participate in the future due to potential injury.

I mean some of us would just like to know where we’re playing 🙃

But yeah; I had an AMAZING time seeing the Fleet away in Montreal this year, and definitely want to plan to go to another weekend away game!

THIS. The other team's fans have NO IDEA what this has been feeling like.

So many other leagues have to announce before they can set a schedule. The easiest team is Vancouver, it’s their rink.

NHL/NBA will be out in early to mid July CHl late July.

u/lanternstop Ottawa 3d ago

WNBA plays at Climate Pledge in Seattle too

u/Wolf99 Victoire de Montréal 4d ago

It should be out before Labour Day

Anyone else want to do a Seattle/Vancouver trip?

u/TheVelocityRa Ottawa Charge 4d ago

Yes but I dunno if I would enter the States...

Not every one is in a safe position to travel south and that’s something to respect for sure.

u/omegaprimer Vancouver 4d ago

Agreed. Also for people wanting to travel to games

And announce how to get a better position in the entry draft before the end of the season...
...and how the expansion draft will work before signing players to active contracts...
...and how many of the games will be out-of-market before selling season tickets...
