The Professional Women’s Hockey League neutral-site game in Detroit between the New York Sirens and Minnesota Frost has broken the record for attendance at a pro women’s hockey game in the United States.

The PWHL’s total attendance currently stands at 1,001,648 fans just over 14 months since the league’s launch in January 2024, according to a press release.
