Ottawa hockey fans have a reason to get loud this Sunday as the PWHL's Takeover Tour rolls into action with a highly anticipated matchup between the Ottawa team and the Montréal squad on March 22.
What Is the PWHL Takeover Tour?
The Takeover Tour is one of the PWHL's signature showcase events, designed to bring professional women's hockey to fans in a bigger, bolder way. Think elevated production, packed arenas, and the best players in the world putting on a show. It's the kind of event that reminds you just how far women's hockey has come — and how electric it can be when the league turns up the volume.
Ottawa vs. Montréal: The Rivalry
There are few matchups in the PWHL that carry as much weight as Ottawa versus Montréal. These two franchises have built a genuine rivalry over the league's short history, with passionate fan bases on both sides and rosters stacked with international talent. Ottawa fans know their team can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the league, and a Takeover Tour setting only raises the stakes.
For Ottawans who've been following the PWHL since its inaugural season, this is the kind of game you circle on the calendar. High-intensity hockey, playoff implications potentially on the line, and the added atmosphere of a showcase event — it doesn't get much better than this in March.
Why Ottawa Should Show Up
Supporting the local PWHL franchise isn't just about the sport — it's about showing the league that Ottawa is a hockey city in every sense of the word. Attendance and fan engagement directly influence how the PWHL allocates resources, schedules marquee events, and views Ottawa as a market. Every sold-out section sends a message.
Beyond the civic pride angle, the on-ice product is genuinely worth your time and your ticket. The speed, skill, and physicality of PWHL hockey regularly surprises first-time attendees who come in with modest expectations and leave as converts.
How to Watch or Attend
Check the official PWHL website and local ticketing platforms for seat availability and broadcast details. The Takeover Tour typically draws larger venues and wider broadcast reach, so even if you can't make it in person, there's a good chance you can catch the action on TSN or PWHL's streaming platforms.
If you're heading out, arrive early — Takeover Tour events often feature pre-game programming, activations, and the kind of atmosphere that makes the whole night feel like an event, not just a game.
The Bigger Picture
Ottawa has embraced the PWHL with real enthusiasm since the league launched, and moments like this Sunday's game are part of an ongoing story about what professional women's sports can look like in Canada's capital. With every big crowd and every memorable game, the city strengthens its case as a cornerstone PWHL market for years to come.
So whether you're a die-hard or a casual fan looking for something fun to do this Sunday, the PWHL Takeover Tour game is worth your attention.
