Afternoon Puck Drop for Ottawa Charge on April 25
Ottawa's PWHL team, the Charge, has announced that their April 25 home game will get underway at 2 p.m. ET — making it a perfect Sunday afternoon outing for hockey fans across the capital.
The earlier start time is great news for families and fans who want to make a full day of it. A 2 p.m. drop of the puck means you can still catch the game, soak in the atmosphere, and be home at a reasonable hour — or head out for a post-game meal in the city.
Why This Game Matters
The PWHL has been one of the most exciting developments in Canadian women's hockey, and Ottawa's Charge have been at the heart of it. The league's inaugural seasons have drawn passionate crowds and proven that elite women's hockey has a serious home in cities like Ottawa.
Every home game at this stage of the season carries weight. With playoff positioning on the line, the Charge will be looking to bring the energy and deliver a strong performance in front of their home crowd. Ottawa fans have shown up consistently, and this Sunday matinee is a chance to do it again.
Making a Day of It
A 2 p.m. start gives you plenty of time to prep for the game. Grab brunch somewhere in the Glebe or downtown Ottawa before heading to the arena, or plan a post-game dinner with the crew to celebrate a (hopefully) Charge victory.
If you're bringing kids or out-of-town guests, a Sunday afternoon game is one of the most accessible ways to experience PWHL hockey live. The energy inside the building is electric, and tickets are still among the most reasonably priced in professional hockey.
