VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Goldeneyes and Seattle Torrent are the names of the two expansion Professional Women’s Hockey League teams joining the league this season.
The PWHL has unveiled the names and logos of the clubs that will bring the number of teams from six to eight when the league starts its third season Nov. 21.
The PWHL played a first season before giving names and logos to its original six clubs in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, New York, Boston and Saint Paul, Minn.
The Torrent and Goldeneyes square off on opening day at Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum.
Vancouver’s logo features a golden bird’s eye at its centre.
A Goldeneye is a diving duck found in inland lakes and rivers and coastal waters, and are fast flyers, according to Cornell University’s ornithology lab.
