If you’ve been wanting to pose with the Walter Cup since the founding of the Professional Women’s Hockey League, now is your chance.
The Frost will celebrate their (second) PWHL championship at the Xcel Energy Center in downtown St. Paul at 6 p.m. on Wednesday and the public is invited.
Here are some things to know:
The championship
On Monday, the Minnesota Frost beat the Ottawa Charge, 2-1, in overtime at the Xcel Energy Center in downtown St. Paul to win the Professional Women’s Hockey League Championship for the second year in a row.
Thus, that Walter Cup is staying in St. Paul.
Pre-party procession
The Minnesota Frost tell us that players, coaches and staff will walk with the Walter Cup (weather permitting) from the Tria Rink at 400 Wabasha St. N. to the Xcel Energy Center, located at the corner of West Seventh Street and Kellogg Boulevard, departing at 5:30 p.m.
From the Tria Rink, the Walter Cup procession will travel through Seventh Place, Rice Park, past the Herb Brooks statue and into Xcel Energy Center.
Who will be there?
The celebration on the arena floor will begin at 6 p.m. with General Manager Melissa Caruso, Head Coach Ken Klee and selected players addressing the crowd.
This event will be hosted by Kirsten Krull of the Bardown Beauties podcast.
The celebration
At the celebration, which lasts until 8 p.m., there will be photo opportunities with the Walter Cup, a live DJ, concessions, interactive games and merchandise sales.
It’s free
The event is free and open to the public with entrance provided at Gate One of the Xcel Energy Center. Doors at Gate One will open at 5:30 p.m.
