The Toronto Sceptres are proving they’re a force to be reckoned with in just their second season in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL). With the regular season winding down, the Sceptres currently sit in third place, firmly in playoff contention and turning heads with their fast, physical, and fearless style of play.
This 2024-2025 campaign has been marked by resilience and growth. After a solid inaugural season, Toronto came into year two with higher expectations and they’ve delivered. Led by Captain Blayre Turnbull and anchored by a veteran defensive core featuring Renata Fast, the Sceptres have struck the right balance between experience and emerging talent. Standout performances from forward Sarah Nurse and goaltender Kristen Campbell have also helped propel the team through a tightly contested league.
What sets the Sceptres apart is how they play the game. They play a smart, structured game built around speed, puck control, and defensive discipline. Beyond the systems, there’s a clear sense of chemistry and character on the ice. Whether it’s clutch performances in overtime or gritty battles along the boards, this team has consistently found ways to compete night after night.
With one month left before the playoffs, Toronto fans are already buzzing with excitement. If the Sceptres can maintain their momentum and lock in a top-three finish, they’ll be a dangerous team in the postseason. The roster boasts players with Olympic and international experience, athletes who know how to perform under pressure. And with home-ice advantage potentially in reach, the team could make a deep run.
Off the ice, the Sceptres have quickly become fan favourites, known for their community involvement and passionate support base. Whether you’re new to the PWHL or a longtime hockey fan, this is a team worth watching.
The playoffs are coming. And the Sceptres are ready.
