"We can't wait for puck drop to see the impact our new and returning players will make, and to deliver a competitive season with even more games for fans to enjoy."
Opening weekend continues with the Ottawa Charge hosting the New York Sirens on Nov. 22 and the Boston Fleet hosting the Montreal Victoire on Nov. 23.
