The PWHL unveiled the team’s name, logo, and colors inspired by Seattle’s waterways and vibrant sports tradition.

This is the Seattle Torrent's inaugural season, which they will begin on the road against the Vancouver Goldeneyes on Friday. Their first home game is against the Minnesota Frost, which is scheduled for Nov. 28 at Climate Pledge Arena.

"The PWHL’s broadcast strategy isn’t about exclusivity — it’s about accessibility," said Amy Scheer, PWHL Executive Vice President of Business Operations. "By working with an incredible mix of broadcast and digital partners across North America, we’re ensuring fans everywhere can experience the speed, skill, and intensity of PWHL hockey. This approach allows us to continue expanding our audience, strengthen local connections, and showcase our world-class athletes on the biggest possible stage."

The backstory:

Earlier this year, the PWHL announced that it was expanding new franchises in Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.

The PWHL launched in 2023 with teams in major hockey markets primarily on the East Coast. Boston, Minnesota and New York made up the three U.S.-based teams with Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa as the three Canadian entries.
