Wikipedia - PWHL Ottawa
Ottawa are a professional ice hockey team based in Ottawa, Ontario. They are one of the six charter franchises of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). Ottawa plays its home games at TD Place Arena.
History
On August 29, 2023, it was announced that one of the PWHL's first six franchises would be located in Ottawa. Michael Hirshfeld, former executive director of the National Hockey League Coaches' Association, was named the team's general manager and TD Place Arena was announced as its home venue. On September 15, Carla MacLeod, former member of the Canadian national team and the head coach of the Czech women's national team, was announced as the first head coach.
Each PWHL team was permitted three signings during the free agency period ahead of the 2023 PWHL Draft. Ottawa signed the league's first three players when it agreed to terms with Canadian national team players Emily Clark, Brianne Jenner, and Emerance Maschmeyer on September 5, 2023. Each of the three players signed a three-year deal with the team, through the 2025–26 season. The team selected 15 players in the league draft held on September 18; with its first pick, Ottawa selected American Savannah Harmon.
On October 17, the team announced that Haley Irwin and Cassea Schols would be assistant coaches and Pierre Groulx would be the team's goaltending coach.
The team colours—and jerseys—were officially announced on November 14, 2023 as red, "storm", and white.
Ahead of the start of the 2024 season, Ottawa announced that Jenner would serve as team captain, with Clark and Jincy Roese serving as assistant captains. The first game in franchise history took place on January 2, 2024, when Ottawa hosted Montreal at TD Place Arena. With 8,318 fans in attendance, the game set a new record for attendance at a professional women's hockey game. Hayley Scamurra scored the first goal in franchise history to give the hosts a 1–0 lead; however, Montreal went on to win the game in overtime by a score of 3–2. Ottawa secured its first win in its second game, a 5–1 win in Toronto on January 13. Its first win at home came on January 23, also against Toronto.
