Tonight at Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts, a historic event takes place as the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) debuts its first-ever game.
Significantly, Patrice Bergeron, the ex-captain of the Boston Bruins who hung up his skates last spring, enhances this milestone. Following his team's surprising first-round playoff departure at the hands of the Florida Panthers, Bergeron continues to play a significant role in the PWHL.
