After three seasons calling the Tsongas Center home, the Boston Fleet are relocating within Boston city limits. <\/span><\/p>\n

Agganis Arena, on the campus of Boston University, will be the Fleet\u2019s primary home venue for the 2026-27 season after the team played the majority of its home games through the PWHL\u2019s first three seasons in Lowell.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fleet built a loyal and vocal base of fans in and around the Merrimack Valley, and while the team often commended the Tsongas Center for its hospitality, the venue created logistical challenges for fans who live in Boston or south of the city. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the past two seasons, the Fleet played six games at Agganis Arena. Four drew sellout crowds, a promising sign for the team\u2019s future in Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe passion for the Fleet in the City of Boston has continued to grow since our first game at Agganis, and this move allows us to build on that momentum while creating new opportunities to connect with supporters throughout Greater Boston, the South Shore, and Rhode Island,\u201d Fleet director of business operations Laura Marie Davey said in a release.<\/span><\/p>\n

On weeknights, the Fleet struggled to fill the seats at Tsongas, likely because commuter rail service is infrequent and rush-hour traffic means it can take upward of two hours to drive from downtown to Lowell. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Fleet\u2019s average announced attendance at the Tsongas Center this season was 4,938, including the team\u2019s two playoff games \u2014 5,867 for four weekend dates and 4,320 on six weeknight ones. At Agganis Arena, which hosted four PWHL games this season, the Fleet averaged 5,238 fans overall and 5,205 on weeknights. <\/span><\/p>\n

Agganis\u2019s capacity for hockey is 6,150 \u2014 about 350 seats smaller than Tsongas, but on par with the team\u2019s average attendance this season. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re deeply grateful to the Lowell community and our partners at the Tsongas Center, whose support has been instrumental in the growth of our organization,\u201d Davey said in the release. \u201cWe look forward to carrying that support with us as we begin this next chapter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fleet made their Agganis debut during the 2024-25 season, drawing sellout crowds in both of their games at the venue, then in two of last season\u2019s four games. The team is 3-0-1-2 at Agganis Arena. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Fleet will share the venue with the BU men\u2019s hockey team, which is scheduled to play 18 home games at Agganis next season, and the BU women\u2019s team, which primarily plays at Walter Brown Arena but will play one game at Agganis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sixteen of those 18 BU games are scheduled on Fridays or Saturdays, though times have not yet been announced. (The Fleet shared Tsongas with the UMass Lowell men\u2019s team, which played a similar schedule.) The PWHL, which will grow to 12 teams next season, has not released its 2026-27 schedule. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWatching the growth of the PWHL and other women\u2019s leagues across sports has been nothing short of incredible,\u201d Agganis Arena executive director Kris Brassil said in a release. \u201cThe Boston Fleet, the PWHL, and, most importantly, the fans have been a pleasure to host here at Agganis, and we\u2019re very excited to continue to build those relationships as a perfect complement to BU\u2019s proud hockey tradition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
