Frost celebrate second straight PWHL Championship

Minnesota Frost fans gathered Wednesday night at Xcel Energy Center in downtown Saint Paul to celebrate the team's second consecutive PWHL title. Frost players and staff walked the Walter Cup from their practice facility through St. Paul's Rice Park and were joined by fans as they gathered around the statue of hockey legend Herb Brooks before entering the arena.

Fans were treated to a live DJ performance before players and staff were introduced. General manager Melissa Caruso and head coach Ken Klee addressed the crowd, after which the players signed autographs and took photos with the nearly 3,000 fans for almost 90 minutes.
