For one night at the Canadian Tire Centre, this didn’t feel like an occasion for women’s hockey in Ottawa. It just felt normal.

If you needed a reminder that the PWHL is the post-Olympics playground we’ve always deserved, Saturday, February 28th in Ottawa was it. The Boston Fleet and Ottawa Charge both hit the ice for their first game back after Milano Cortina, and the whole afternoon felt like an Olympic reunion disguised as a regular season matchup. Fifteen Olympians shared the ice. Fifteen. In one league game in Ottawa.
