The Seattle Torrent are a professional women's ice hockey team based in Seattle, Washington. The franchise was announced on April 30, 2025, as the Professional Women's Hockey League’s (PWHL) second expansion franchises, alongside Vancouver, increasing the PWHL from six to eight clubs. The team began play in the 2025–26 season and plays its home games at Climate Pledge Arena, sharing the venue with the NHL’s Seattle Kraken, while practicing at the Kraken Community Iceplex. The name "Torrent" was chosen to reflect the waterways, rivers, and maritime character of Washington State and the Pacific Northwest. The team's crest features a stylized "S" designed to resemble flowing water, while its visual identity is built around Slate Green, Shadow Blue, and Glacier Blue, complemented by Foam, Haze Grey, and Basalt Black.
The expansion roster was built around several established international stars, including United States captain Hilary Knight, who became the first captain in franchise history. Seattle made its PWHL debut during the league's opening-night doubleheader on November 21, 2025, against fellow expansion club Vancouver, marking the beginning of a rivalry between the league's westernmost franchises.
During its inaugural 2025–26 campaign, the Torrent helped continue the PWHL's rapid growth in the United States, drawing some of the largest crowds in league history. A February 2026 game at Climate Pledge Arena attracted 17,335 spectators, then one of the highest attendances ever recorded for a professional women's hockey game in the United States. Seattle also participated in the league's first game at Madison Square Garden in April 2026, another milestone event for the PWHL.
As of the conclusion of the 2025–26 season, a total of 28 players have suited up for the Torrent: 3 goaltenders and 25 skaters.
