Minnesota forward Liz Schepers, center, raises her arms in celebration after scoring as Boston goalie Aerie Frankel looks at the puck in the net during the second period of Game 5 of the PWHL Walter Cup hockey finals, Wednesday May 29, 2024, in Lowell, Mass.
A young fan reacts at the glass as Boston defender Jessica Digirolamo talks to her before tossing her a puck before the start of Game 5 of the PWHL Walter Cup hockey finals against Minnesota, Wednesday May 29, 2024, in Lowell, Mass. The three-time Olympian chased down a rolling puck and knocked it into an empty net to seal Minnesota’s 3-0 victory over Boston in the winner-take-all Game 5 to claim the inaugural championship of the Professional Women’s Hockey League.
“We’re ‘the State of Hockey,’” said Heise, who was the league’s No. 1 overall draft pick. “And I think this proves it.” But with the game scoreless early in the second, Minnesota forward Sydney Brodt skated through the slot toward the goal. She whiffed on a wrist shot, drawing Frankel out of position, then slid around to the right side and centered the puck behind her, where Schepers tipped it in.
