The Torrent visit the Charge. Ottawa is sixth in the league with 19 points, Seattle eighth with 16. The December 17th game between these two teams in Seattle ended in favour of the Torrent by a score of 4 to 1.
Nearly everyone on the Seattle roster has played for some other PWHL club before. Mikyla Grant-Mentis and Lexie Adzija are both on their third PWHL club. The most travelled player must be Aneta Tejralová who has played for Ottawa in the PWHL, MoDo in the SDHL, Boston Pride of the old PHF, SKIF Nizhny Novgorod and Dinamo St Petersburg of the Russian league, and Slavia Prague of the Czech league. In all, Seattle have five former Ottawa Charge players on their roster: Adzija, Grant-Mentis, Tejralová, Danielle Serdachny, and Natalie Snodgrass.
The Torrent play at the Climate Pledge Arena, aka Seattle Center Coliseum, built in 1962, with seating for 17,000. It’s also the home rink for the Seattle Kraken. Their lowest attendance so far has been 8,622; highest 16,014. Seattle is one of the natural hometowns for pro hockey and it’s crazy that the NHL has only just moved in there. The 1919-20 Stanley Cup final was between Ottawa and Seattle.
