Frost capture Walter Cup in dramatic overtime
Montreal edged Minnesota 2-1 in Game 5, securing a spot in the Walter Cup Finals. The victory was sealed by an overtime goal from Liz Schepers, who finished with a 2-1 championship triumph on Monday.
Taylor Heise contributed the series‑clinching tally, marking her first playoff goal at a pivotal moment. The Frost’s depth was on full display, as they have won four of their last five games and sit atop the league standings.
For Heather Rule, a freelance journalist who has covered the sport for more than two decades, the win resonates deeply. Her love for hockey began when the Minnesota Wild arrived in 2000, and she has since followed the Wild, the Minnesota Twins, IndyCar Series, tennis and prep sports with equal enthusiasm.
