Defending PWHL Champion Minnesota Frost Face Playoff Newcomers Ottawa Charge in Best-of-5 Finals

The Minnesota Frost, winners of last season’s Walter Cup, will face off against the Ottawa Charge, making their first playoff appearance, as they begin the best-of-five PWHL Finals on Tuesday at TD Place in Ottawa.
Minnesota's return follows a season of strong postseason play and roster continuity, while Ottawa emerged by defeating Montreal despite limited playoff experience and losing key goalie Emerance Maschmeyer to injury.
Minnesota features the playoffs' top six scorers led by first overall pick Taylor Heise, who has seven points including six assists and scored a series-winning goal in overtime last round.
Minnesota coach Ken Klee noted that Heise thrives under pressure, possessing both exceptional skill and a strong presence, and that she aims to perform her best in high-stakes moments like the finals.
The series outcome could reflect Minnesota's championship experience against Ottawa's defensive style and rookie goalie Gwyneth Philips' strong playoff performance, with games scheduled through May 28 if necessary.
