Awards and honors

The Torrent's first home game was attended by 16,014 fans, setting a record for the highest attendance at a professional women's hockey game at a U.S. arena. The same game set the record for the highest attendance at a PWHL team's main arena, surpassing the 14,958 who attended the Vancouver Goldeneyes' first home game, against the Torrent, a week earlier.[12][13] The Torrent's U.S. arena attendance record was surpassed later in the 2025–26 season by a PWHL Takeover Tour game between the Montreal Victoire and New York Sirens at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., where 17,228 fans attended.[14] The Torrent sold out Climate Pledge Arena for the first time on February 27, 2026, their first game following the 2026 Winter Olympics, retaking the U.S. attendance record with a crowd of 17,335.[15] The team set another U.S. attendance record on April 4, 2026, when they played at the Sirens at a sold-out Madison Square Garden, with 18,006 fans in attendance.[16]
