QUÉBEC — The Montréal Victoire will host the Ottawa Charge in a Professional Women’s Hockey League regular-season game in 2025.

The PWHL announced Wednesday the game will take place on the afternoon of Jan. 19 at the Videotron Centre.

The Sunday game is one of nine regular-season neutral-site contests scheduled for the upcoming PWHL season.

The announcement comes a day after Amy Scheer, the PWHL’s senior vice president for business operations, said the league was planning on adding two expansion teams for the 2025-26 season.

Quebec City already has announced its intention to be an expansion candidate.

The game will mark the PWHL’s first visit to Quebec City and the Videotron Centre, which has a capacity of over 18,000 for hockey.

The Victoire played three neutral- or alternate-site games last season at Scotiabank Arena (Toronto), the Bell Centre (Montréal) and PPG Paints Arena (Pittsburgh).
