On Jan. 5, 1912, the city of Vancouver had its first professional hockey game. The Province reported about 5,000 spectators turned out to watch Vancouver beat New Westminster 8-3 at a new 10,000 seat arena the Patrick family had built at Denman and Georgia Streets.

For Jennifer Gardiner and Rylind MacKinnon, the Vancouver stop on the PWHL's Takeover Tour is more than a game for them, and it's also a game with meaning "for all the girls out west."

Some of Canada's best female hockey players take the ice at Rogers Arena — in what some say is a sign of a changing sport. The Professional Women’s Hockey League, also known as the PWHL, is holding a game in Vancouver for the first time.
