PWHL game ticket demand spikes after US women's Olympic hockey gold
Demand for Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) tickets surged after the U.S.'s women's team won gold at the 2026 Olympics, according to data from StubHub.
The league has not confirmed if it will expand again at the end of the 2025-26 season, but hopes remain high that Detroit will eventually get its own team. The city has consistently shown up for the league, with the PWHL game welcoming its 1 millionth fan during a Takeover Tour game at Little Caesars Arena last year.
That game also set a record for most fans at a professional women's hockey game in the United States when 14,288 showed up to cheer on the New York Sirens and Minnesota Frost. As the league continues to grow and pick up fans, that record has been broken several times.
