BOSTON, MA - The Boston Fleet will spotlight seven of its players bound for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 with a send-off celebration on Jan. 28 at 7:00 p.m. ET, when the team hosts the New York Sirens. From the Fleet, three forwards, three defenders and one goaltender will be traveling to the Milano Cortina 2026, with the women's hockey tournament set to take place from Feb. 5-19.

Boston's Olympic Winter Games Send-Off Celebration will include the Fleet's first-ever bobblehead giveaway, featuring an exclusive Aerin Frankel bobblehead available to the first 3,000 fans at the Tsongas Center.

A moment of silence will be taken before the puck drop in honor of Lisa Brown-Miller, a member of the 1998 Olympic gold-medal winning team, who passed away in May of 2025.
