PWHL Vancouver Goldeneyes took down Montréal Victoire in a 4-3 thriller
Fresh off a gutsy win against Seattle, the Vancouver Goldeneyes returned to the Pacific Coliseum to host the league-leading Montréal Victoire in front of a packed crowd of 10,946. Despite a late Hayley Scamurra hat trick, the Goldeneyes held on to win 4-3 in regulation, earning three valuable gold plan points in the race for the first overall draft pick.
As It Happened
On Tuesday night, the Goldeneyes celebrated the South Asian Heritage and South Asian communities across British Columbia and beyond. The Abbotsford Canucks’s Arshdeep Bains, a high school classmate of fellow Surrey native Jenn Gardiner, was here at the Rink on Renfrew for the ceremonial puck drop.
The “Souuuup!” and “Holy moly what a goalie!” chants broke out early in the first period as Kristen Campbell made a pad save against Catherine Dubois. Vancouver and Montréal both put up 14 shots through the first two periods, but it’s Vancouver with the two-goal lead heading into the dressing room. The Goldeneyes opened the scoring fifteen minutes into the game. Tereza Vanišová took advantage of a Montréal turnover and set up Sarah Nurse’s eighth goal of the season. A tripping penalty to Jessica DiGirolamo gave Vancouver a power play at 7:36 of the second period. Vancouver’s captain Ashton Bell converted it with a stunning snipe to double the lead.
The third period turned into an emotional roller coaster for the fans on both sides. Vanišová, already with two assists under her belt in this game, drove the net to get past Sandra Abstreiter, extending Vancouver’s lead to three. Less than four minutes later, The Goldeneyes added a fourth goal with Claire Thompson firing a mesmerizing one-timer. With the assist on this goal, Sophie Jaques became the first PWHL defender to reach 50 career points. Desperate for a goal, the Victoire pulled the goaltender with more than eight minutes left in the game. Hayley Scamurra put on a show to score three goals in just two minutes and forty-four seconds to stun the crowd. Suddenly, it’s a one-goal game. The fastest hat trick in the PWHL history made the final five minutes of the game a nerve-wrecking time for the home fans. “Everyone got their money’s worth, on the edge of the seat right till the end,” Vancouver Head Coach Brian Idalski commented at the post-game press conference. As the final horn went off at the Pacific Coliseum, Montréal ran out of time for an equalizer, receiving their first regulation loss in seventeen games. Kristen Campbell held on with 25 saves, becoming the third PWHL goalie with 30 career wins.
The victory marked Vancouver’s first win against the Montréal Victoire and the first time winning three games in a row.

AEW Dynasty Delivers Chaos, Classics, and a Devilish Ending in Vancouver – Recap & Photos
AEW made its Dynasty debut in Vancouver on April 12, 2026, and the company didn’t waste the moment. From the opening bell to the final image of MJF sitting on his throne, the night was loaded and memorable.
The main event was the headline for a reason. Kenny Omega challenged MJF for the AEW World Championship in a match built on a simple story: “God” vs. “Devil.” Omega had the crowd fully behind him, and it looked like he finally did it after landing the One-Winged Angel. But the referee was down, and MJF did what MJF does. A low blow, the Dynamite Diamond Ring, and a brutal finish later, the champion escaped again. It was dramatic and messy, leaving the door wide open for what’s next.
Earlier in the night, Darby Allin earned that next shot. His match with Andrade El Ídolo was one of the night’s standouts. Allin took a beating, gave one back, and found a slick pin to seal it. After the match, he made it clear: he wants MJF, and he wants him now. That title match is set for Dynamite in Everett, just down the road from where Allin trained.
The show opened hot with The Young Bucks taking on Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita. It was chaos in the best way: constant motion, near-falls, and a story bubbling under the surface. Miscommunication between Okada and Takeshita cost them in the end, and the Bucks capitalized. The bigger takeaway: that partnership looks finished.
Jon Moxley vs. Will Ospreay for the Continental Championship leaned more into grit. Ospreay came out firing but got caught chasing punishment instead of the win. Moxley absorbed everything, targeted Ospreay’s neck, and closed it out with a Death Rider. It wasn’t clean or pretty, but that’s Moxley.
The tag title match brought emotion. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage tried to grab one last run at gold against FTR. They came close, but interference and a well-timed Shatter Machine shut it down. Copeland left the match bloodied, leaving the crowd shaken up.
There were title changes too. Kevin Knight won a wild Casino Gauntlet to claim the vacant TNT Championship, outlasting a stacked field.
In the trios division, Kyle O’Reilly returned to join Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong, and The Conglomeration walked out as new champions after a feel-good win over The Dogs.
On the women’s side, Thekla retained the AEW Women’s World Title against Jamie Hayter in a hard-hitting match that didn’t end clean. A rope-assisted pin sealed it, which keeps that rivalry alive.
One of the more surprising highlights came from Chris Jericho vs. Ricochet. Jericho’s return had the crowd singing every word of “Judas,” but Ricochet spoiled the comeback with help from his crew and a flashy finish. It was smoother than expected and got the crowd going.
After the show, AEW CEO Tony Khan used the media scrum to set the next chapter. He confirmed Allin vs. MJF for Dynamite, plus Kevin Knight’s first TNT title defense against Claudio Castagnoli. There was bad news too: Gabe Kidd is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury suffered during the trios match.
Khan also addressed Ricochet’s recent social media controversy, saying he had a direct conversation with him and made it clear it crossed a line.
This Dynasty night didn’t try to do too much. It just stacked good matches, let the crowd react, and kept things moving. By the end, it felt like one of AEW’s cleanest pay-per-views in a while. Vancouver definitely got a strong first impression.
Catch AEW Dynamite Spring Break Thru LIVE on TBS and streaming on HBO Max this Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT from Everett, Washington.

PWHL Vancouver Goldeneyes Strike Early, Beat New York Sirens 5–2 at Home
The Vancouver Goldeneyes leaned on a fast start and some fresh faces to take down the New York Sirens 5–2 on Wednesday night at Pacific Coliseum, pulling themselves back into the playoff picture in the process.
Vancouver came out flying, getting goals from Anna Shokhina and Anna Segedi, both their first with the team, inside the opening seven minutes. Shokhina opened the scoring on a late power play, weaving through traffic and finishing unassisted, while Segedi followed soon after by converting a clean setup from Michelle Karvinen behind the net. It marked a rare early surge for a team that has struggled to generate first-period offence this season.
New York responded quickly, with Sarah Fillier tipping in a point shot just over a minute later to cut the lead in half. The push didn’t last long. Sophie Jaques stepped into a slapshot from the blue line late in the period to restore Vancouver’s two-goal cushion, and that goal stood as the difference.
The Sirens found their footing in the second period and made things interesting. Rookie Anna Bargman redirected a point shot midway through the frame to bring New York back within one. Vancouver bent but didn’t break, with Kristen Campbell holding steady in net during a stretch where the Sirens controlled more of the play.
Any momentum New York built faded early in the third. Tereza Vanišová extended the lead to 4–2 after a shot bounced in off Kayle Osborne’s blocker, taking the edge off the comeback attempt. Mannon McMahon added an empty-netter in the final seconds to cap off the night and secure her first point in several games.
Campbell finished with 22 saves for Vancouver, continuing her solid play at home, while Osborne turned aside 24 shots for New York. Vancouver also snapped a lengthy power-play drought with Shokhina’s opener and saw production come from all four lines, a promising sign for a team that has been searching for consistency.
The win moves the Goldeneyes within three points of the sixth-place Sirens, tightening the race as the regular season winds down. Vancouver now heads into the final game of its homestand with some needed momentum, while New York, now on a four-game road skid, is left looking for answers after another slow start.
