Hey y’all! I’m funneling my sadness from missing out on the finals into an issue that’s been bothering me all season: the lack of reliable water fountains at Grand Casino Arena!
If this is something that’s been bothering you too, or if you just like supporting thirsty Frost fans, please sign this petition!
Thank you!
I'm originally from Lansing Mi and had lived there for most of my life. I moved to the Minneapolis area about 5 years ago and started following the Frost with my wife.
Now I'm thinking I should start a household rivalry and switch to supporting Detroit...
Thoughts?
😈
I was on a different social media site today and found the attached picture. Look at the very bottom for Nicole Hensley’s response
Et - sorry, meant to include the link. #freekatyknoll
One of the only silver linings for Minnesota being out earlier now is that their 1st round pick will be a little higher than if they won the championship. It’s looking like they’ll either pick 5th if the league dosent let the expansion teams pick ahead of them or 9th if the league does.
Based off the rankings https://thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/2026-pwhl-draft-rankings-april-top-100
It looks like some of the following players in Minnesotas range are:
Nelli Laitenen - defenceman - u of Minnesota
Kirsten Simms - forward - Wisconsin - U.S. gold medalist
Lacey Eden - forward- Wisconsin
Emma Peschel - defence - Ohio State
Issy Wunder - forward - Princeton
Sydney Morrow - defence - u of Minnesota
- Also, even though it would be hard and unlikely as she’s ranked 2nd/3rd overall is the Frost could possibly try to somehow trade up to get Abbey Murphy as she’s definitely a “Frost” type of player to a fault as she plays like Curl but with more talent. Plus she’s obviously close with Taylor Heise and the other U.S. national team members on Minnesota
- it’s obvious the frost are going to lose at least 1-2 of either Pannek, Coyne, Stecklein, Zumwinkle, Cooper through the expansion period with how expansion teams can offer mandatory EFO offers for $100k that players have to sign. It’s going to hurt but it might impact their draft plans
We let our daughter open her presents before school and the first thing she did was dress her doll in the Frost Jersey I had made for it 🥰💜
Because of my interest in the Frost, other Sports subs have made their way into my feed. What I see 😨 s people complaining about how sad the state of MN sports are with no championships. Like women's sports don't even exist. So frustrating.
Well, fellow Frost fam, our fan base will be growing by one tiny new fan next season! I was a little disappointed we didn't get on the jumbotron, except for the photo we submitted to the Frost Fam Cam. Now, there will be no more home games to take our sign to this year. Maybe if there's some November games, we can take it again. Oh well, we're just excited to share our happy news 🤗
I'm gonna keep this short. So it's currently about 540 pm on my 14th. I'm sitting on my deck listening to my podcasts after both of my hockey teams have been ousted from the playoffs. I got notification. Today is May 14th. 2 years ago the 14th was on a monday. The frost were on the verge of elimination from the playoffs down 2-0 in the series against Toronto after barely able to scratch their way into the playoffs and had been all but written off. But they won. Then proceeded to grind through then PWHL Toronto and then went on to going to the limit against Boston to hoist the cup. I remember this vividly because I woke up than morning not remembering anything past 5 pm the night before. I got home from work poured all.my booze down the drain and took my family to a hockey game. The notification was 2 years sober congratulations
If we lose Curl to the expansion draft I can finally tell other queer people I like the Frost without getting shoved into a locker woo!
No players from Minnesota are reportedly affected.
The reserve players — along with Jade Downie-Landry, who was not originally expected to play tonight — were ready to suit up.
That means Tamara Gianquinto and Nadia Mattivi could have filled in on defense, while Maya Labad and JDL could have replaced two of the three absent forwards.
In other words, Montreal still had enough healthy players to ice a lineup of 12 forwards and six defenders.

So proud of our team and loved every minute! I can’t wait to do it all again next year 💜
Imagine a world where:
A member of the Frost (perhaps She Who Will Go Unnamed) blatantly and obviously spears a member of the Victoire, and not only doesn't get a spearing call but gets no call whatsoever... and then she scores the GWG.
Then, the Frost get to have the deciding game five delayed just for them for confusing and inexplicable reasons.
Then, up 2-1 with 5 minutes left, the Frost commit the most obvious and egregious tripping and then cross checking penalties imaginable, and neither get called, while, let's say in this imaginary universe, the Boston Fleet are in attendance because they have already clinched their ticket to the championship series.
And the entire time the announcers are glazing the Frost and talking as if they are guaranteed victors.
Imagine.
How pissed would r/PWHL be? How salty would r/hockey be?
The weather is beautiful in the twin cities this week. Local Frost fans might find themselves frolicking through spring flowers or basking in the glorious sun. Hockey season is over, but summer is beginning, and that's personally a W for me.
But if you find yourself looking for your next Frost hockey fix, here is what you can look forward to:
Somehow they are able to have the Walter Cup Finals with out us? Didn't know they could do that. Watch it or no, PWHL hockey will conclude next week. Game 5 is still TBD, but Game 4 is scheduled for 5/22
May 28th is when expansion teams will be able to start signing players. Frost can protect 3 signed players. We can't lose more than 4 players during this window, but those 4 losses will likely be heartbreaking. Honestly, I don't have a great grasp on how the Expansion Not Draft works this year, but I expect to be coping with some ice cream treats and long, introspective walks.
The PWHL Draft and End of Year Awards is happening in Detroit June 16 & 17. There will be lots of excitement as we see our new rookies and watch the new expansion teams take shape. See all the players that have declared here: https://www.thepwhl.com/en/news/2026/may/12/2026-pwhl-draft-eligibility-list-features-record-number-of-player-declarations
Da Beauty League is back! No official dates posted yet, but their Instagram has confirmed there will be a 2026 season. For those unfamiliar, Da Beauty League is made up of NCAA and pro players and takes place Wednesday evenings at Braemar Arena. There are two men's games and one women's each week. It's low stakes, has some fun rule changes, and is a good way to cool down and enjoy some hockey over the summer. Based on last year, games should start early July.
PWHL 2026-2027 will probably start in November. This time, with 12 teams! That's DOUBLE what we started with. That means more games, more goalies, more fun! And hopefully, more Walter Cups in Minnesota.
we will be doing a little bit of tweaking rules and such on the sub this summer. after the draft, I'll make a "State of the Sub" post for feedback on new rules and formatting. for now, be good, please don't go to other teams subs and chirp, and enjoy some warm weather
Went to a game on a whim during a time when grief felt insurmountable. I couldn't remember the last time I had actual real fun. Unfortunately for my wallet, hockey has taken over my life now, but wow! It is so good to have something to cheer for & our GIRLS. What a team :')
The toxicity in the league has really been bringing me back down, but I've decided I'm being a dumb stupid idiot if I let online hate ruin something good for me! I'm happy in our chilly little corner of the world. Excited for what our girls have in store for us next season and can't wait to see MTL lose.
Thank you all for making it so easy to feel at home in this space. Thank you for the loon jerseys and pride gear. Thank you for being such a warm and welcoming community during such dark times (can't say that about the rest of the PWHL lol)
Basically said what everybody already knows that the frost are going to lose some really good players in expansion but the most shocking thing said was that 4-5 Frost players need surgeries at the moment (have to guess maybe Buchbinder and Coyne are two of them).
Am I the only one who doesn’t like the optics of the entire Ottawa Charge team already being in Montreal? Seems a little presumptuous, no?
So please meet your new undying Ottawa fan (for the finals only, terms and conditions apply)
Edit: I had misspelled Ottawa like the American dyslexic that I am
