The season included an outdoor game played at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts in conjunction with the 2016 NHL Winter Classic which was called the 2016 Outdoor Women's Classic. The game was unfortunately marred by an injury suffered by Boston Pride player Denna Laing who stepped on a stick and crashed head first into the boards. It was later announced that Laing had suffered a severe spinal cord injury and had limited movement of her arms and no feeling in her legs.
