Founding

Detroit had been rumored to be a potential expansion team ever since it hosted the PWHL's very first neutral-site game during their inaugural 2024 season, drawing 13,736 fans. In the subsequent two seasons, Detroit became the most frequent host city on the PWHL Takeover Tour, hosting four more games including a crowd of 14,288 (at the time a US arena record for women's hockey attendance) on March 16, 2025 and culminating in a Little Caesars Arena women's hockey record-high attendance of 15,938 on March 28, 2026.

The team's founding and entry into the league was announced on May 6, 2026. The team will start play in the PWHL for the 2026–27 season.[1] The team's colors are black and silver, with white as a tertiary color and red as an accent color.

The team is the league's ninth franchise overall and its third expansion team, part of the second round of expansion. The team will play its games at the Little Caesars Arena, which is also the home of Detroit's National Hockey League team, the Detroit Red Wings.[2]

Team identity

[edit]

As part of the expansion announcement, the team's colors were revealed to be black and silver, with white as a tertiary color and red as an accent color. Like all previous teams, the team will temporarily operate as PWHL Detroit until a permanent team identity is decided.
