Hockey fans in Winnipeg made it clear as the Professional Women’s Hockey League rolled into town over the weekend that they want to see their own franchise based in the Manitoba capital. Fans wore jerseys, made creative signs — with some calling for the league to put a team in the city — and sang along all night long to the in-game playlist. We absolutely need a team,” said Jen Seguin, who was at Sunday’s game with a sign that read, in part, “WPG PWHL ASAP. Winnipeg wants the PWHL.”“I’ve travelled to see a PWHL game, I went to Minneapolis," said Zienkiewicz. “There’s so much hockey love here in the city, so yeah, I think it’d be a great one," she said.
