Purple Reign

In the third episode the Purple Trio look back on the last five games of the season that took place after the break for the World Championships and this was where things took a dark turn as PWHL Minnesota dropped all of them in regulation nearly costing their place in the playoffs

In the second episode the Purple Trio look back on the first few months of the season for PWHL Minnesota as the team got off to a fast start proving early that they were one of the teams to look out for in the Professional Womens Hockey League

In the first episode the Purple Trio looks back on how the foundations were laid for PWHL Minnesota from the league being set up to the first free agency signings and how the first ever PWHL Draft went down

The day after the Minnesota Frost makes history by becoming back to back Walter Cup champions the Purple Trio who are still exhausted from the celebrations come together to look back on what has been another historical season in Minnesota

We also mention some surprises including very big plans for what we as a trio would like to achieve in Year 3

Going into the final stretch of the regular season it was literally do or die for the defending champions and oh how did they thrive under pressure

In particular Nicole Hensley who has struggled throughout the year but rose to the task shutting out the Charge and then only letting one goal past the Fleet as our Minnesota Frost booked thier place in the Walter Cup Playoffs

Bur vefore we recap the final three games of the regular season we take a look at all of the medalists at this year's World Championships

During the World Championships the league confirmed the date and location of the PWHL Entry Draft 2025 which will take place in Ottawa on the 24th June but with expansion teams from Vancouver & Seattle entering the league and the Sirens winning the Gold Plan again there's still a lot we don't know

As we expected a second expansion team for 2025/26 was indeed coming and with Vancouver joining from Canada it made complete sense that Seattle would join them

Unlike BC the press conference held in the Emerald City was more of a party atmosphere with even getting athletes from Seattle's womens sports teams making speeches

All in all we couldn't be more thrilled to see Seattle join our ever growing family and we look forward to your first matchup with our Minnesota Frost in 2025/26

It took the league almost all of Year 2 but finally our Inaugural Walter Cup champions Minnesota Frost have finally recieved their championship rings and they are absolutely beautifulThe jewel captures the historic moment of our team claiming the first Walter Cup in Boston on the 29th May 2024

April 23 2025 marked a huge milestone in the PWHL as our first ever expansion team was announced in Vancouver and the entire Purple Trio couldn't be more happier for them

Vancouver is a natural fit as they will be the first team in the league to be the primary tenant of its home arena with their practice facility just a few steps away and following the almighty success of the Takeover Tour they had to go first

We would like to welcome PWHL Vancouver to the family and we look forward to your first matchup with our Minnesota Frost in the 2025/26 season

As the Stanley Cup schedules were released the NHL declared war on the PWHL when they forced us to move our games to make way for the Wild & Devil's first round matchups and this made my blood boil as the PWHL schedules were known since October

I can't believe in 2025 the men are taking priority over women and it finally confirms the Purple Trio's supicions from when the Victoire were up against the 4 Nations and that is the NHL is against us
