**PWHL Vancouver Unveils Inaugural Jerseys** PWHL Vancouver introduced its first jerseys on Tuesday morning, showcasing designs inspired by the city’s natural environment. The jerseys feature a color scheme of Pacific blue and cream, accented with earthy bronze. The word "Vancouver" is prominently displayed across the front. The team has not yet announced its official name. The PWHL, which is entering its third season, delayed naming its first six teams for a full year. PWHL Vancouver plans to reveal its team identity, including the name and logo, before the start of the 2026-27 season. Mark Walter, who owns the Los Angeles Dodgers, fully owns the league. “I feel so excited that fans are finally getting to see our jerseys for the first time,” said PWHL Vancouver forward Sarah Nurse. “It truly feels surreal to think that in a month, I’ll be wearing that in a game for the first time. I already feel like we have such a strong fan base in Vancouver and can’t wait to compete on the ice in front of all of them on opening night.” The Canadian Tire Corporation, a founding partner of the PWHL, will have exclusive logo placement on the shoulder patches of Vancouver’s jerseys, consistent with all Canadian teams in the league. Fans can purchase home jerseys, including personalized options, through the PWHL’s official online store. A media event for PWHL Vancouver is scheduled for later today. The team will play at the Pacific Coliseum, marking the first hockey tenant in the arena since the Vancouver Giants moved to the Langley Events Centre before the 2016-17 season. The Vancouver Canucks were the original hockey team at the venue. PWHL Vancouver's season is set to begin on November 21, when they host PWHL Seattle in their opening game. The team will compete in a 32-game schedule. Cara Gardner Morey, a longtime head coach at Princeton University, serves as the general manager, while Brian Idalski is the head coach. Idalski has a diverse coaching background, including experience in the minors and coaching the Chinese national team at the Olympics. The league has structured the expansion process to support new franchises, allowing the six original teams to protect only three players during the expansion draft. PWHL Vancouver is expected to be a strong contender, featuring notable players such as Nurse, local talents Jenn Gardiner and Hannah Miller, and top defenders Sophie Jaques and Claire Thompson. The team also boasts a solid goaltending duo in Kristen Campbell and Emerance Maschmeyer, both of whom have prior starting experience in the league.
