PWHL's Charge to play in Senators' arena next season in Ottawa

Summary

The PWHL's Charge are set to remain in Ottawa after reaching an agreement to play at the NHL Senators' Canadian Tire Centre next season. The decision follows successful discussions between PWHL and Senators officials and comes after the team played all four postseason games at this arena, drawing considerable crowds. The move was prompted by renovations at the Charge's former home, TD Place, which reduced its seating capacity to a level perceived as financially unfeasible. The agreement is expected to be finalized soon, securing the team's presence in Canada's capital for the upcoming season.
