The Ottawa Charge will be playing at Canadian Tire Centre thing spring.

The Professional Women’s Hockey League team announced on Thursday that the Charge’s game against the Montreal Victoire, originally scheduled for March 11 at the Arena at TD Place, will now be played on Friday, April 3 at the Canadian Tire Centre.

“I’m really excited for the opportunity to return to Canadian Tire Centre,” Rebecca Leslie, Charge forward and Ottawa native, said in a statement.

“I grew up in Ottawa. I have fond memories at that rink, whether it was attending Sens games, playing in the Bell Capital Cup, watching the Women’s Worlds in 2013 or playing in the PWHPA showcase. Being able to return there as a member of the Charge for the second time is really special. We’re excited for our fans to bring the noise and energy to CTC like they did last year.”

In December 2024, the Charge and Victoire played in front of more than 11,000 fans at the arena in Kanata.

The Charge-Victoire game will also be Emily Clark’s bobblehead game, with the first 6,000 fans receiving a bobblehead of the Charge’s alternative captain.

The Charge says season ticket members will receive instructions on how to view their seat location at the Canadian Tire Centre for the game.

Fans who previously purchased tickets for the game at TD Place will have their original tickets automatically refunded through Ticketmaster and will be provided with a priority window to select new tickets at the same price point for the April 3 game.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Feb. 20 at 10 a.m.

The Ottawa Charge return to action on Feb. 28 when they host the Boston Fleet at the Arena at TD Place.
