The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL), affectionally known as P-dub, started its inaugural…read moreseason in January 2024. As a Minnesota Wild season ticket holder, with roughly ten tickets a season, I was invited to get tickets to support P-dub Minnesota. I couldn't time my Twin Cities visits to see the women play. It bummed me out. Both this team and the Wild play out of Xcel Energy Center. Similarly, both teams use the TRIA practice facility. The PWHL comprises six teams: - Toronto - Ottawa - Montreal - Minnesota - New York - Boston They were supposed to have team names. The league applied for six trademarks, which were considered leaked names. I don't know if this story is true, as you can always get trademarks for names that you think that you want, but you aren't forced to use them. It would have been the Toronto Torch (the alliteration is decent) and Minnesota Superior (as in Lake Superior). Not horrible. Go, Torch, go! This chant works. Superior has more syllables to make a chant work, though. Instead, the teams were simply PWHL + location. It seems weird, but there is standardization. When the jerseys were unveiled, it was the location in block letters running diagonally across the front. It looked simple and kind of boring, but it grew on fans. I was pleased that Minnesota chose purple as its team colour. It happens to be my favourite colour. PWHL Minnesota was doing great throughout this season. However, towards the end of it, the team lost roughly ten games in a row and barely made it into the playoffs, squeezing by Ottawa and dashing that team's playoff hopes. PWHL Toronto was the top team in the league during the regular season. I like that the rules are different in this league. This team decided its opponent in the first playoff round. It chose Minnesota. Ten-game losing skid. The team seemed to be the easiest team to beat. Minnesota proved to be a huge thorn in Toronto's side. I was fortunate to have taken in my first PWHL game in Toronto, which was also the first PWHL playoff game ever. It was a dream to see two teams that I have supported battle it out. It was a best-of-five-games series. Toronto looked strong, winning the first two games. Minnesota did a reverse series win and beat the top ranked team. Minnesota then played Boston. Boston looked dominant. Minnesota ended up tying the series. The final deciding game was played in Boston two nights ago. The Minnesota women did it. It was a shutout win to clinch the first Walter Cup. They were the underdog and proved everyone wrong. Minnesota, like Toronto, doesn't win a ton of professional championships. It was uplifting to see that the PWHL Minnesota women did it. Taylor Heise, the first draft pick in this inaugural season, won the first Ilana Kloss MVP award. Kloss happens to be the wife of Billie Jean King. Both played tennis and were trailblazers in their sport. The PWHL Minnesota consists of players from Minnesota, with the exception of a few women from Canada, and a player each from Finland and Czechia. The players will have a celebration at Xcel Energy Center on May 31st. The venue is perfect and I hope that it's awesome. Here's hoping that it's streamed live on YouTube, which has been the case for all PWHL games and special events. I would like to see this team play a game at Xcel Energy Center. I am content that I got to see the team play at Coca Cola Coliseum in Toronto. However, there's nothing like seeing a hockey game at the X, in the State of Hockey. The food is amazing, as is the atmosphere and the passion that fans have for hockey. Congrats, PWHL Minnesota! (217)

KNOW YOUR ENEMY…read more Although I'm an ardent supporter of another AL Central team, I still gotta tip my cap to this northern ballclub. Originating as the Kansas City Blues (eventually becoming the Washington Senators), the Minnesota Twins were named after the adjacent cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.  They play their home games at Target Field which opened in 2010. The Twins have historically been an 'OK' team holding an overall record of 5,162 wins and 5,239 losses which equates to a 49.6% winning percentage.  They've experienced a period of success (WS championships in 1987 & 1991) followed by a number of dark years, then a strong resurgence in the mid 2000's. For decades, the Twins played at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodrome, widely panned as one of the worst venues in baseball.  I have vivid recollections of former All-Star Torii Hunter robbing countless homers off of that stupid "baggie" outfield wall in the dome.  I'm GLAD they demo'd the Metrodome, good riddance! Notable players in Twins history include Rod Carew, Joe Mauer (stud), Johan Santana, Tony Oliva, Harmon Killebrew, and Kirby Puckett.  The best player on the active roster is center fielder Byron Buxton, a guy with incredible speed, top-tier defense and elite power. Fun fact: Twins legend Justin Morneau played half a season with the White Sox in 2016, hitting a mere 6 home runs (compared to the 221 he clubbed in his 11-year tenure with MIN).  Other notable Sox-Twins include beloved slugger Jim Thome, fiery closing pitcher Liam Hendricks, and infamous catcher AJ Pierzynski. Derek Shelton is the current team manager but he's no Ron Gardenhire, who led the Twins to 6 division titles between 2002-2014.  As of 8/4/26 the team is in third place in the American League Central, quietly sneaking up on the Cleveland Guardians for a wild card spot. * TL;DR * While it's true that the Minnesota Twins are divisional rivals of my White Sox, it's not a heated rivalry a la Yankees-Red Sox or Cubs-Cardinals. It doesn't feel long ago that 2019's 'Bomba Squad' set a new MLB record for team home runs with a whopping 307.  These days, the slugging numbers are down but hope springs eternal for a fanbase hoping to witness the Twins reclaim the pennant and return to the Fall Classic for the first time in over 35 years. The 'TC' logo is slick, the stadium is cool, and the Twins' name is directly tied to the city/cities they play in.  That's more than enough positives to earn 4* from this sports fan.
