On Saturday, March 27, in a nail-biter of a game played at their home city’s Warrior Ice Arena, the Boston Pride of the National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) defeated the Minnesota Whitecaps, 4-3, on a power-play goal by Taylor Wenczkowski with six minutes to go in regulation to become the first two-time winner of the Isobel Cup, the symbol of the league’s championship.
Pride General Manager Karilyn Pilch was full of praise for both teams after the game. “We played an excellent game against each other,” she said. “For people to see that that’s what we’re going to bring to the table is a big moment for us,” she said, referring to how NWHL teams play hockey and the fact that the game was broadcast by ESPN.
