The Professional Women's Hockey League is exploring a potential long-term arena solution for the Ottawa Charge through discussions with the Ottawa Senators. League officials are considering the possibility of hosting games at the Canadian Tire Centre as uncertainty grows around the team’s current venue, TD Place. Planned renovations at TD Place will reduce seating capacity by roughly 2,000 seats, which could make it difficult for the franchise to remain there long term. PWHL executive Amy Scheer said conversations with the Senators have been encouraging as both sides explore ways to strengthen the team’s future in Ottawa. The Charge will host the Montreal Victoire at Canadian Tire Centre on April 3 in a test event expected to draw strong fan support. Since joining the league as one of its original teams, Ottawa has averaged about 7,000 fans per game, showing steady local interest.

Co-owner Steve Tisch and his siblings are planning a significant ownership change involving the New York Giants. According to a league memo obtained by The Associated Press, Steve Tisch, Laurie Tisch and Jonathan Tisch have asked the National Football League for approval to transfer their remaining 23.1 percent stake in the franchise into trusts for their children. The Tisch family had already moved part of its ownership shares in 2023 and 2024, and the new plan would complete the transition, leaving the siblings without direct ownership. The move has drawn attention following the release of Jeffrey Epstein related documents by the United States Department of Justice, which mentioned Steve Tisch. He has denied any serious association with Epstein. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league will review the matter while continuing to evaluate the ownership request.
