On Saturday, March 27, the NWHL made history by awarding the Isobel Cup to the Boston Pride, making them the first team to hoist it twice. It was also the first time professional women’s hockey, and their championship game was broadcast live on prime time national television as NBCSN showed both the semi-final games and the final with an all-female broadcast team.
While this is a huge feat for women’s hockey, Whitecaps fans may be a little sullen to come that close and lose 4-3 in a matchup over a year in the making.
