The Ottawa Charge supply us with no shortage of highlights, whether it’s their constant overtime heroics, Gwyneth Philips’s memeable moments, or fun off-ice antics.
Here are three of the top moments from the 2025–26 season.
Moment #3: Fanuza Kadirova hairstyle × 26
Fanuza Kadirova was a fan-favourite from the start. For her birthday, all of her teammates imitated her iconic hairstyle at practice. No one can do it quite like the original, though.
Moment #2: Gwyneth Philips’s stick save
Sceptres fans thought this was a guaranteed goal. Colour commentator Cheryl Pounder couldn’t believe it. But Gwyneth Philips made arguably the save of the season on December 4, 2025.
Moment #1: Game 3 of the Walter Cup finals
On May 18, 2026, the Ottawa Charge set a PWHL record for the highest attendance at a playoff game. A total of 16,894 fans attended the game at the Canadian Tire Centre.
The Charge had their season on the line this game—Montréal was up 2–0 in the series, so a loss would mean it was over. But this team has specialized in late-game comebacks over the last two seasons. Down 1–0 and with 5:30 left to go in the third, Peyton Hemp tied it up. Then, with just under a minute left, hometown hero Rebecca Leslie potted the game-winning goal to push the series to Game 4.
