List of Minnesota Frost players
.jpg)
The Minnesota Frost are a professional women's ice hockey team based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Founded on August 29, 2023, they are one of the six original franchises of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).[2] The team plays its home games at Xcel Energy Center, which it shares with the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL). As of the end of the 2024–25 PWHL season, 35 players have appeared in at least one game for the Frost; of them, 3 are goaltenders, while 32 are skaters.[3]
Minnesota’s inaugural game took place on January 3, 2024, against PWHL Toronto, ending in a narrow 2–1 loss. The first goal in franchise history was scored by captain Kendall Coyne Schofield.[4] The Frost earned their first win a week later, defeating PWHL Boston 4–2 in front of over 9,000 home fans. Goaltender Nicole Hensley recorded the team’s first shutout on February 9, 2024, making 31 saves in a 3–0 victory over PWHL New York.
The Frost made league history by winning back-to-back Walter Cup championships in 2024 and 2025, becoming the first—and so far, only—team to capture the PWHL title. Their playoff success was built on depth scoring, disciplined defense, and timely goaltending, establishing Minnesota as an early dynasty in the league.[5]

The seasons column lists the first year of the season of the player's first game and the last year of the season of the player's last game. For example, a player who played one game in the 2023–24 season would be listed as playing with the team from 2023–24, regardless of what calendar year the game occurred within.
Statistics are complete to the end of the 2024–25 PWHL season.
