Fans stand & cheer as two women propose during pro-ice hockey game

Ice hockey fans in Boston stood and cheered last Saturday night as two young women proposed marriage to one another while in the rink.

The dual proposal occurred during a sold-out Saturday afternoon match between the Professional Women’s Hockey League of Boston (PWHL Boston) and PWHL Montreal at the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Tsongas Center. During the pause, fans were invited to try to score a goal from the rink’s center.

Two young blonde women got on the ice, and — as one of them made a successful goal, facing away from her partner — the other got on one knee and pulled a small box out. The woman who made the successful goal celebrated by holding her stick and raising her arms to the cheering audience. Only when she noticed her kneeling partner did she drop her stick and then take a knee as well. There, she pulled out a ring box.

The crowd began cheering, standing, and applauding as the two women nodded yes to one another and then stood to kiss, hug, and exchange rings. The two women hugged once more as an in-rink official skated over to hand the newly engaged couple a bouquet. The couple happily accepted the flowers as the crowd continued to cheer them on.

PWHL Boston shared a video of the dual-proposal on its Instagram page, writing, “THEY BOTH SAID YES [ring emoji] Congratulations Gaby and Nicole on your engagement! [green heart emoji].”

PWHL Boston ended up defeating PWHL Montreal with a score of 4 to 3.

This is just the most recent pro-sports proposal to happen during a game.

In May 2022, a woman proposed to her girlfriend on the basketball court during a game between the Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm, two WNBA teams. In December 2016, a basketball fan staged an elaborate marriage proposal to his boyfriend during a game between the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs, two NBA teams — the proposal even involved the Bulls’ mascot and a candy ring.
