@Source: startribune.com
The Minnesota Frost celebrated their second straight championship Wednesday night with a parade in downtown St. Paul and a party at Xcel Energy Center, making fans feel like they were a part of something special.
“We’re experiencing history,” said Craig Rasmussen of Savage.
The Frost’s second Walter Cup in the first two years of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), which they won Monday, had fans drawing comparisons to the Green Bay Packers’ victories in the first two Super Bowls.
The party Wednesday was also about the good feeling that comes with cheering for a winning Minnesota team.
“People give Minnesota a bad time — ‘You haven’t won a title since the Twins.’ Yeah we have!” Rasmussen said. “Women’s sports are carrying the state.”
The victory parade, from the Tria Rink to Rice Park in drizzling rain, drew a crowd of about 150 dedicated Frost fans. Their cheers echoed as Frost players in black T-shirts climbed the statue of legendary U.S. Olympics coach Herb Brooks and hoisted the Walter Cup.
They whooped and chanted: “Brrrr! It’s cold out here! There must be some frost in the atmosphere!”
Some fans said they wished the celebration would have been ... bigger.
