VANCOUVER, BC (December 16, 2025) – The Vancouver Goldeneyes became the first team in PWHL history to win its first three inaugural season home games, overtaking the Ottawa Charge 2-1 on Tuesday night at Pacific Coliseum in front of 9,250 fans. The win moves the Goldeneyes to second place in the standings with eight points (2-1-0-3) while the Charge remain in eighth with an immediate opportunity to bounce back on Wednesday night in Seattle. Katie Chan opened the scoring at 7:50 of the first period, batting a rebound out of midair for her first career PWHL goal. Fellow British Columbia native Jenn Gardiner doubled Vancouver’s lead at 3:36 of the second period with a slick unassisted goal on a partial breakaway. Anna Shokhina broke Ottawa’s five period scoring drought when she buried a centering pass at 14:17 of the third – the first of her PWHL career. Despite the Charge’s 34 shots, including 13 in the final frame, Goldeneyes netminder Kristen Campbell’s 33 saves earned her first win of the season, highlighted by a big stop on a Rory Guilday shorthanded breakaway in the third. Gwyneth Philips was equally spectacular in the Charge crease, turning aside 27 shots in defeat. The Canadian cross-country competitors meet two more times this season: Jan. 9 at TD Place and Mar. 14 back at Pacific Coliseum.
