OTTAWA, ON (January 9, 2026) - The Ottawa Charge made history at home with their fifth straight win, outlasting a third period surge by the Vancouver Goldeneyes by scoring two late empty net goals to skate to a 4-2 victory. The historic win delighted a rowdy crowd of 7,889 fans at TD Place on the team's Country Night. Ronja Savolainen recorded the scoresheet's lone goal across the first two periods, coming mid-way through the first (10:12) to put Ottawa ahead. Anna Meixner doubled the Charge's lead 5:07 into the third before a flurry of back-and-forth action in the game's final 10 minutes, starting with Sophie Jaques bringing the Goldeneyes within one at 11:13. Vancouver goaltender Kristen Campbell was pulled with just under two minutes to go to give the Goldeneyes an extra attacker, but Charge captain Brianne Jenner potted an empty netter to give Ottawa a 3-1 insurance lead. Michelle Karvinen kept things close with her first career PWHL goal at 18:58 to bring the Goldeneyes back within one, but Rebecca Leslie closed the game out for Ottawa with a final empty-net goal at 19:36. Both netminders turned away 23/25 shots, with Gwyneth Philips earning her sixth win of the season, tied for most in the PWHL. |

VANCOUVER, BC (December 20, 2025) - Coast-to-coast travel could not slow down the Montreal Victoire as they became the first PWHL team to beat the Vancouver Goldeneyes at the Pacific Coliseum, 4-2 on Saturday afternoon before a crowd of 12,127.

Three goals followed in the middle frame, starting with Dara Greig's first career goal to double the Victoire's lead just 1:48 into the second. Sophie Jaques cut Montreal's lead in half with her second goal of the season at 12:24, but the Victoire responded quickly with an unassisted goal from Natalie Mlynkova at 15:23 on a spectacular breakaway effort. Scoring opened quickly once more in the third with Michela Cava bringing Vancouver again within one with her first of the season at 1:07. Montreal sealed the victory with a 14:31 goal from Shiann Darkangelo, despite a strong offensive push from Vancouver with an extra attacker for the game's final three minutes.

VANCOUVER, BC (December 6, 2025) - The Vancouver Goldeneyes bounced back from a three-game losing streak on the road, lighting the lamp three times in the first period on their way to a 4-0 victory over the New York Sirens on Saturday afternoon at Pacific Coliseum. Veteran goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer turned away a 28-shot barrage from New York to record the first-ever shutout in Goldeneyes history and hand the Sirens their second blank sheet of the season. Abby Boreen's first period goal - her first of two - marked Vancouver's first time reaching the back of the net first this season. Captain Ashton Bell and forward Jenn Gardiner scored just 63 seconds apart in the first, the quickest goals in Goldeneyes history with the latter counting as the team's first-ever shorthanded 'jailbreak' goal.

Vancouver defender Sophie Jaques on her goal and the team's offense: "It was off the faceoff -- there was a bit of scrum. The forwards did a good job to get the puck back, and I just took it to the middle and fired the puck. I think Miller gave a good flash screen on the goalie, so that took away her eyes. At times we were good net front, but I also don't think we were shooting the puck very much with a purpose. I think that comes with our line changes. We were just kind of trying to get pucks deep and didn't really make a lot of great plays down low when we did have them beat. We did some of it in the game, but definitely there's room for improvement." |
