Sunday was the NWHL championship between the Minnesota Whitecaps and the Buffalo Beauts. Like every game before it at the TRIA Rink it had sold out its 1200 capacity well before the game started and in this case fans were lined up waiting to get in over half an hour before the doors opened. For the most important match of the season Amanda Leveille was in goal for Minnesota, while Buffalo went with Nicole Hensley over their usual starter, Shannon Szabados, due to an injury. However, the Beauts may have gone with Hensley over Szabados anyway, as she was in goal for the only victory Buffalo had over Minnesota during the regular season this year.
Your Minnesota Whitecaps are the 2019 NWHL Champions!
