**Frost on the Brink of Second Consecutive Walter Cup Victory**

**ST. PAUL, MN -** The Minnesota Frost are one win away from claiming their second consecutive Walter Cup, the championship trophy of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL). After a grueling 2-1 triple-overtime victory against Ottawa in Game 3 of the PWHL Finals on Saturday, the Frost lead the best-of-five series 2-1 and have the opportunity to clinch the title on home ice at the Xcel Energy Center this Monday.

Rookie Katy Knoll became the hero of the hour, scoring the game-winning goal midway through the third overtime period. This victory continues the Frost’s trend of nail-biting games, with their last four playoff matchups all going to overtime.

“Doing this at home would be life-altering,” said Frost star forward Taylor Heise, emphasizing the importance of securing the championship in front of their fans. “Even those not from Minnesota would know how important that would be.”

Coach Ken Klee, whose son recently experienced a similar overtime-filled championship run in junior hockey, acknowledged the pressure. “It’s definitely nerve-racking… But it’s fun. It’s fun hockey. It’s exciting.”

The Frost are expected to play in front of a packed house at the Xcel Energy Center, with attendance projected to exceed the 8,098 fans who witnessed Saturday’s thrilling game. PWHL advisory board member and women’s sports icon Billie Jean King is also expected to attend.

“Our game prep is the same,” Klee stated, focusing on maintaining their routine amidst the excitement. “We talked a little more about obviously they know it’s a big game for us, but let’s try to handle most of the exterior stuff today and tomorrow we’ll dial it in on our game.”

Winning the Walter Cup for the second year in a row would cement the Frost’s legacy and provide a memorable celebration for their dedicated fans and families. The Frost are looking forward to avoid a Game 5 on Wednesday in Ottawa and close out their season on home ice. With the upcoming expansion draft potentially impacting the team’s composition next season, this championship opportunity is particularly significant.

Heise said “Two times is not a fluke. If we were to do it again and win it at home, a lot of people will start believing in us finally.”
