Air Canada’s “PWHL Fan Flight” giveaway gives you a chance to win a free trip to the PWHL finals! But you’ve got to know someone young who’s a real fan of women’s hockey because you’ve got to nominate one! If you do, you could be in for a great experience!
In 2024, women’s hockey is clearly very much on trend in this country. The PWHL (Professional Women’s Hockey League) is attracting more and more crowds, and our national team recently won the IIHF Women’s Ice Hockey World Championship.
If you’re interested, here are all the details of the Air Canada giveaway to attend a game in the final of the PWHL championship.
Air Canada “PWHL Fan Flight” giveaway
To participate in this hockey and women’s sports fever and reward the PWHL fan community, the league’s official airline, Air Canada, has launched an exciting giveaway called “Fan Flight”.
Here are the basics of the contest:
- To enter, you have to nominate someone
- And you have to be a Canadian resident aged 18 or over
- Prize offered to nominee AND 1 guest
- Aims to reward a “young women’s hockey fan”
- “Young” is NOT defined in the official rules
- You have to explain why the fan deserves to win
- Answers will be judged (NOT a random winner)
- It ends on May 3rd, 2024
- The winning fan will be contacted by email or phone
- Free entry to the giveaway is possible in 2 ways
- On the official giveaway website in just a few clicks
- Step-by-step guide below!
- By mail with a 500-word text
- Maybe it shows more passion?
- On the official giveaway website in just a few clicks
Technically, you can nominate anyone — I guess it was simpler for them legally not to set an age. But since the answers are going to be judged and they’re clearly targeting young fans with the images on their website, the winner is likely to be an actual young fan.
If you know one, here’s exactly what she could win:
- 1 hotel night in the departure city
- 2 roundtrip tickets for a flight in economy
- From the airport closest to home*
- To the airport closest to the game city
- 2 hotel nights in the game city
- 2 tickets to the hockey game
- PWHL Championship Final
*From the airport served by Air Canada closest to the winner’s home residence
A memorable experience that’s sure to be the envy of many.

Potential destinations for the trip
Unlike the NHL, which has 32 destinations (and potentially more in the coming years), the PWHL has a smaller number of teams, so it’s easier to imagine the possibilities if you win the “Fan Flight” giveaway.
Here are the standings as of today.
The only team already qualified and the most likely destination is Toronto. Unless, of course, the team is as pathetic in the playoffs as its male counterpart…
My friend’s sister plays for the Toronto team, so I don’t wish them ill, but let’s just say that the Maple Leafs’ last 57 years of failure don’t bode well for the GTA!
If not, maybe the winner will get to experience my favorite city in the league, Boston. Or Montreal, Ottawa, or Minneapolis-Saint Paul (New York seems unlikely).
Basics of the Professional Women’s Hockey League
As you probably know, the Professional Women’s Hockey League is brand new.
With 6 teams in total (3 Canadian and 3 American), it was created in August 2023 to replace the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF).
Since the season kicked off on January 1st, 2024, this new league has been setting new attendance records.
In fact, on April 20th, 2024, Montreal hosted Toronto at the Bell Centre in front of 21,105 spectators, marking the largest crowd ever recorded for a women’s hockey game worldwide!
Finally, female hockey players are getting the recognition they deserve! Air Canada wants to take part in this frenzy and reward the fans. The giveaway is free and registration is quick. It’s definitely worth entering if you’re a hockey fan, or if you’d like to treat a loved one to this great surprise.
