The Goldeneyes have a new schedule and a new look. The league released the 2026-27 schedule on Oct. 2, and the team unveiled its new jerseys at the Pacific Coliseum on Oct. 21.
Here’s how Vancouver’s 2nd season lays out, and the games worth watching for.
Seattle again to start
Like last season, the Goldeneyes open at home against the Seattle Torrent, at noon on Saturday, Dec. 5. It’s the 1st of 4 meetings between the 2 teams. Vancouver won all 4 last season (2-2-0-0), 2 of them in overtime, and Seattle will be hungry to get its own new-look team off to a better start.
A home-heavy start
7 of Vancouver’s 1st 10 games are at the Pacific Coliseum, which gives fans plenty of early looks at what should be an exciting team. It’s also a chance to improve on last season’s home record of 6-2-3-4 (W-OTW-OTL-L). That mark includes 2 Takeover Tour games in Edmonton where Vancouver was the home team. At the Coliseum itself, the Goldeneyes went 6-2-2-3.
3 afternoon games
Vancouver has 3 noon games at the Coliseum this season: the home opener against Seattle on Dec. 5, PWHL Hamilton on Jan. 16 and PWHL San Jose on March 13. Last season’s 4 noon home games drew 43,196 fans in all, and an afternoon start works for families who can’t make an evening game.
The Takeover Tour
The Goldeneyes play 4 Takeover Tour games this season, down from 5 last season, as the league takes games to markets it’s looking at. The dates are set, and the sites are still to be announced. The 1st is Jan. 23 against Minnesota.
Last season’s 5 took Vancouver to Edmonton twice, Detroit, Quebec City and Denver. Detroit has since joined the league.
4 new opponents
The league grows to 12 teams with PWHL Detroit, PWHL Hamilton, PWHL Las Vegas and PWHL San Jose, none of which has a nickname yet. Vancouver still plays 30 games. It sees San Jose and Las Vegas 4 times each, Detroit 3 times and Hamilton twice.
Dates to circle
- Dec. 5: the home opener against Seattle, at noon
- Dec. 12: the 1st meeting with PWHL Las Vegas, at the Coliseum
- Jan. 12: Marie-Philip Poulin and the Montréal Victoire visit, always a popular night at the Coliseum
- April 17: the season finale, at home against Hilary Knight and PWHL Detroit
Season 2
With 1st overall pick KK Harvey on the blue line, Jenn Gardiner and Sarah Nurse re-signed, and Cara Gardner Morey moving from general manager to head coach, season 2 of Goldeneyes hockey promises to be a good one.
