Local PWHL stars hope Takeover Tour in Halifax inspires next generation

The recent PWHL game at Scotiabank Centre, Halifax, sold out with 10,438 fans, ending 2-1 in a shootout with Marie-Philip Poulin scoring for Montreal.
As part of the Takeover Tour, the PWHL staged neutral-site matchups including the first of 16 games and plans to return to Halifax on Jan. 11 for Ottawa Charge vs Boston Fleet.
Players and coaches highlighted community outreach as local associations and girls' teams travelled from Nova Scotia and the Atlantic provinces, while event programming included coaching panels and a business breakfast.
High-Paced play and star players increased the event's resonance as the Toronto–Montreal rivalry forced overtime and a shootout, with Blayre Turnbull noting she grew up without pro women to admire.
Broader support for women's professional sport is evident in Halifax, as fans watch whether strong local interest and PWHL expansion discussions could boost Canada's East Coast growth.
