Awards and honors
The Torrent's first home game was attended by 16,014 fans, setting a record for the highest attendance at a professional women's hockey game at a U.S. arena. The same game set the record for the highest attendance at a PWHL team's main arena, surpassing the 14,958 who attended the Vancouver Goldeneyes' first home game, against the Torrent, a week earlier. The Torrent's U.S. arena attendance record was surpassed later in the 2025–26 season by a PWHL Takeover Tour game between the Montreal Victoire and New York Sirens at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., where 17,228 fans attended. The Torrent sold out Climate Pledge Arena for the first time on February 27, 2026, their first game following the 2026 Winter Olympics, retaking the U.S. attendance record with a crowd of 17,335. The team set another U.S. attendance record on April 4, 2026, when they played at the Sirens at a sold-out Madison Square Garden, with 18,006 fans in attendance.
