Boston’s PWHL team, now known as the Fleet , will open its second season on the road, Nov. 30, against the Toronto Sceptres. The rest of the Fleet’s schedule, which was released Tuesday, contains a bit of mystery. Eleven of the 30 games are scheduled to be played at the Tsongas Center in Lowell. Thirteen will be played at other PWHL venues, the first of which is the Coca-Cola Coliseum in downtown Toronto. Six other sites are to be announced. The Fleet said that “non-primary-venue games,” along with broadcast and streaming information, will be announced in the coming weeks. The Boston team (whose games were carried by NESN last year) played its inaugural schedule of home games last season at Tsongas. Across the league, the PWHL sprinkled in special-event games in NHL buildings, such as the Boston-Ottawa game March 16 at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena. There is a possibility that the Fleet could hit the ice at TD Garden (an arena that, coincidentally, was once known as the FleetCenter). The Fleet have a Jan. 5 game against the Montreal Victoire, with no venue specified. There is a Bruins-Islanders game that day scheduled for 6 p.m. at TD Garden. Another “venue TBA” game is Feb. 23; there is a 1 p.m. Celtics home game that day. For a Fleet “TBA” on March 1, Montreal is listed as the home team. A week later, on March 8, Boston is listed as the host against Montreal, venue to be announced. The other two “TBAs” on the schedule — March 26 against Toronto and March 29 against the Ottawa Charge — fall on dates where the TD Garden events calendar is blank. “There’s a lot to look forward to as we head into season two,” said Fleet general manager Danielle Marmer in a press release. She did not respond to a text seeking comment on the non-Tsongas games. “I imagine our team is especially excited for our first meeting with Minnesota,” Marmer said. “And, of course, the Boston-Montreal rivalry lived up to the hype after last year’s intense playoff series. “Last season, the playoff picture came down to the final game of the regular season, so there isn’t a game on this schedule we can afford to overlook. We have some unfinished business to attend to.” Led by the heroics of netminder Aerin Frankel and top playmaker Alina Müller, Boston went 8-4-3-9 last season, finishing third of six teams, then went on a playoff run that ended with a Walter Cup Final loss in a winner-take-all Game 5 to Minnesota. “There’s a lot of excitement in our group around announcing our upcoming schedule,” Boston coach Courtney Kessel said. “As last season progressed, we felt the investment from our fans, so today is not only exciting for us, but also for them. We’re all eager to get back to the rink and pick up where we left off.” Training camp opens Nov. 12 at Boston Sports Institute in Wellesley. After a week there, the Fleet will travel to Montreal for a mini-camp, scrimmaging against the Victoire Nov. 20 and Charge Nov. 21. The PWHL will pause its season for two international breaks — Dec. 9-16, and Feb. 3-10 — and call timeout from April 3-25 for the Women’s World Championships. “I’m itching to get back to Boston and get the season going,” Fleet forward Jamie Lee Rattray said. “I feel like our group really found a way to come together and play the right way as the year went on last season. Looking forward to hitting the ground running with a phenomenal group of people.”
