– May 4, 2021 – The Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) announced today that their third and final US Secret® Dream Gap Tour showcase, in partnership with the St. Louis Blues, will take place on May 16 and 17 in St. Louis.
The event, originally scheduled for April 11 and 12, will be presented locally by Centene Corporation. The games will feature Team adidas (Minnesota) and Team Women’s Sports Foundation (New Hampshire). The two teams will battle to be named the first-ever U.S. Secret® Cup Champions— based on the PWHPA’s scoring system Team adidas currently leads the standings 8-2 after the first two showcase weekends.
The first Secret® Dream Gap Tour game in St. Louis will take place on May 16 at Centene Community Ice Center at 12 p.m. CT, and the showcase will conclude on May 17 with a 6 p.m. CT puck drop at Enterprise Center, home of the St. Louis Blues.
“Since moving to St. Louis recently, I have been blown away by the eagerness and drive to grow the sport of hockey – for men and women,” Cavallini said when the event was originally announced in March. “The St. Louis Blues hosting the PWHPA Secret Dream Gap Tour speaks volumes to how much they believe in our game and our mission of creating a viable, sustainable women’s professional hockey league. There’s nothing better than having visible, powerful women role models, on and off the ice, showing the next generation they, too, can dream big.”
The Blues’ commitment to the PWHPA comes off the heels of the 2020 NHL All-Star game which included a Canada vs. U.S. women’s 3-on-3 all-star game, PWHPA player appearances during the Skills Competition and a legacy investment by the Blues, NHL and Bauer Hockey to grow girls’ hockey.
This investment included the creation of the St. Louis Blues Girls’ Hockey Development League, which provides low-cost opportunities for girls of all ages to try hockey and develop skills at a faster rate.
Limited tickets are available for the May 17 game at Enterprise Center and can be purchased by visiting
