Our basketball dreams may not have gone as planned, but there is still much to celebrate in the sports world. Turn your attention to the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) and you’ll see that our home team emerged victorious!

Minnesota picked up the Walter Cup after beating Boston 3 - 0 in game five of a nail biter playoff series. Even better, the team will go down in history as the very first champions of the league as 2024 was the PWHL’s inaugural season.
