Like the rest of its Professional Women’s Hockey League counterparts, Minnesota’s team doesn’t have a name yet. (The Athletic reports a trademark for the name Minnesota Superior was filed in October. But new teams often file trademark applications for multiple names.)
There are 21 Minnesotans playing in the league, with 13 of them playing for their home team. Minnesota also has five players from the 2022 silver medal-winning U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team.
Minnesota will play 24 games in 2024: seven more games in January, six in February, five in March, three in April and two in May, with the possibility of playoffs after the regular season.
