For the first time since the start of its inaugural season in January, the PWHL will be making its debut at the Bell Centre — home of the Montreal Canadiens and the biggest hockey arena in North America.

General tickets for the April 20th game between Montreal and Toronto went on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET and sold out in under 20 minutes, setting the league up to break the world record for largest attendance for a professional women’s hockey match.

    First off, fantastic!

    Secondly, I have to wonder how many of those tickets were “sold” from “Ticketmaster (sales division)” to “Ticketmaster (scalping division)”. I guess actual attendance figures will show the answer.

      I think either way the fact that, suddenly, the tickets are entirely bought out in 20 minutes means there’s a lot of desire for going to the games.
