That’s an extra-cool wrinkle to the story, Fraser figures. That’s where she and her teammates often play games. And now she’s dreaming that one day maybe she can take the big step up and find her way into the PWHL and play at the Coliseum. Fraser and her teammates are exactly who the PWHL is hoping to inspire, Hockey Hall of Famer Jayna Hefford said. Hefford is the executive vice-president of hockey operations for the PWHL. She was on the Canadian team that won gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and was elated by the massive turnout at January’s Takeover Tour game at Rogers Arena between the Toronto Sceptres and Montreal Victoire. It drew the largest crowd to watch a hockey in Vancouver during the 2024-25 season. That’s a point that prompted Hefford to smile. It drew her back to 2010. “The success we had at those games, and the success of hockey at those games and now we’re starting to see players play at the international level, on both the women’s team and the men’s team, really high level players coming out of the (Vancouver) area,” she said. “And you have to think they’re probably connected to the success that happened in 2010.”
