The Walter Cup champion Minnesota Frost are back in the PWHL Finals. This time around, they'll face a first-time playoff team in the Ottawa Charge.

It’s a big night for Minnesota sports on Tuesday as the Frost play Game 1 of the PWHL Finals, and the Timberwolves play the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Golf season for the Minnesota Frost will have to wait a little longer. After an exciting overtime win, the Frost will move on to the final round of playoffs to battle the Ottawa Charge for the Walter Cup.

Vancouver and Seattle were selected as the PWHL’s first two expansion franchises in announcements made a week apart last month. The PWHL is in the midst of closing its second season with the defending champion Minnesota Frost preparing to face the Ottawa Charge in a best-of-five championship final series opening on Tuesday.

Toronto Sceptres head coach Troy Ryan says being unhappy with the result shouldn't mean being unhappy with where the team is headed. The Sceptres fell 4-3 in overtime on Wednesday to lose its best-of-five semifinal against the defending Walter Cup champion Minnesota Frost in four games.

When the puck dropped on the Minnesota Frost's deciding game four win against the Toronto Sceptres, there was an odd quiet in the building. The game lacked the typical playoff atmosphere with only 3,107 fans on hand for the game.

The Minnesota Frost is up 2-1 against the Toronto Sceptres in the first series of the PWHL playoffs. The Frost have allowed at least 3 goals per game, but make up for it by repeatedly finding the back of the net.

In what was the highest-scoring game in the two-year history of the PWHL, the Frost took Game 3 and grabbed a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five league semifinal on a night where public address announcer Brian Sweeney might have been the hardest-working person in the building.
