The Minnesota Frost celebrated its second straight Walter Cup title Wednesday night with a parade and event at Xcel Energy Center in front of family and fans.

Big picture view:

Chants of "Brr it's cold in here, there must be some Frost in the atmosphere," could be heard from Tria Rink to Xcel Energy Center. Fans were wearing Frost jerseys or the color purple, cheering the team on. The players were decked out in black shirts that said "Minnesota vs. Everyone." 

The women held up the Walter Cup high for everyone to see, as they’re the only ones to touch it.

"It's super exciting, I think you can see the energy that we have out here tonight. It’s just great to see the fans come and support us, but it's obviously such a competitive league. To do it back to back is hard, but awesome that our group was able to do it," said Grace Zumwinkle who plays forward on the Minnesota Frost.

Young girls hope to be in PWHL

What they're saying:

Young girls were in awe looking up to players in the Professional Women’s Hockey League. A young girl was wearing Grace Zumwinkle’s jersey, and she signed it.

"I’ve been playing hockey for like 12 years now, and to see like I could be in their shoes someday, I really want to play where they’re at," said Anna Franco, a Frost fan.

"Hockey is pretty much the only sport I can pay attention to. And I just think women are so much more energetic than the men. I think it's so much fun. I love seeing how much fun they’re having on the ice," said Eden Myers, a Frost fan.

The Frost have won two Walter Cups, and the Professional Women's Hockey League continues to grow.
