The Toronto Six won its first home game in franchise history with a 5-1 victory over the Connecticut Whale on Saturday in the Premier Hockey Federation.
The Six were an expansion team last season, but the women’s club wasn’t able to host games at York Canlan Ice Arena because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The visiting Whale led 1-0 after Saturday’s opening period, but Toronto rattled off four unanswered goals in the second.
Michela Cava led the Six with two goals and an assist.
