On April 4, the New York Sirens and Seattle Torrent penciled themselves into the PWHL record books when they played in front of the largest-ever women’s hockey crowd in U.S. history, and at Madison Square Garden, no less.
That haul of attendees—18,006, to be exact—was 671 people larger than the crowd on Feb. 27, when the Torrent set the PWHL attendance record that Saturday’s game just broke. And months before that tilt, which brought in a total of 17,335 fans, the Torrent set the attendance benchmark that the February game shattered, when they played their inaugural home opener for a total of 16,014 in the stands.
