A passing remark by President Donald Trump may have raised eyebrows among the members of the Minnesota Frost, the U.S. women’s hockey team, during the 2026 Winter Olympics. While they did not appreciate the joke, they say the solidarity from their male counterparts remained steadfast.

Maddie Rooney led the Minnesota Frost to their second consecutive Walter Cup, achieving three straight overtime victories against the Ottawa Charge, a team featuring many of her former UMD teammates.

The Minnesota Frost face an uphill battle to defend their PWHL title after a crucial 2-0 loss on Sunday left them needing victories and outside help. With only two regular-season games remaining, the defending champions must win out and rely on other teams to keep their playoff hopes alive.
