  "account": "DETROIT — In their inaugural season, PWHL Detroit will play 13 regular-season games at Little Caesars Arena. Their first home game is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 12, against the New York Sirens. Prior to that, they will host the Las Vegas expansion team on Sunday, Dec. 6. The complete 2026-27 schedule was released on Oct. 2, with PWHL Detroit joining the Western Conference. This conference includes teams such as PWHL Las Vegas, Minnesota Frost, PWHL San Jose, Seattle Torrent, and Vancouver Grizzlies. The regular season extends through mid-April, followed by the playoffs. Detroit's expansion team will participate in four Takeover Tour games in cities without permanent league teams. The team, led by coach Josh Sciba and featuring former Red Wings All-Star goalie Jimmy Howard, will be broadcast on multiple national outlets including Sportsnet, ION, CBC, TSN, and Amazon Prime. Season ticket sales began on Oct. 9, with individual tickets going on sale on Oct. 9 as well. The first home game is set for Dec. 12 at noon, before the Red Wings take on the Florida Panthers at 7 p.m., the only day both PWHL Detroit and the Red Wings play at LCA on the same day.",
