The Minnesota Frost will take on the New York Sirens at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday, March 16 at 7:30 PM.
Last year, Little Caesars Arena hosted an American professional women’s hockey attendance record of 13,736 to watch Boston beat Ottawa. Little Caesars Arena will be the only one place return to host a neutral-site match during the PWHL’s second season.
The nine-game PWHL Takeover Tour begins Jan. 5 in Seattle and ends March 29 in St. Louis.

“Bringing PWHL games to fans in both countries is a natural next step as we continue to build our audience,” said Amy Scheer, PWHL Senior Vice President of Business Operations. “When exploring potential locations for a PWHL game, the enthusiasm from cities eager to join our League was incredibly encouraging. The PWHL Takeover Tour will allow us to showcase our game and exceptional athletes to a broader North American area – an exciting moment for our players and an important step for our company as we consider expansion.”
In October, the PWHL announced that this was the case initiate an expansion process with the intention of adding as many as two franchises before the start of the 2025-2026 season. Detroit and Pittsburgh are among the American expansion candidates.
“(We’re) looking for the right market size, the right fan base, the right facilities, the right economic opportunity – so there’s a lot of research to be done in the coming months,” Scheer said in October. “But yes, I want to continue building the league and growing the number of teams.”
The puck drops on the PWHL’s second season on November 30.
