The Six beat the Minnesota Whitecaps 4-3 to win the cup, which is named after Lord Stanley’s daughter and has been awarded to the best professional women’s hockey clubs in North America since 2016
They were short on sleep and had barely made a dent in the messages that jammed their phones, but members of the Toronto Six were elated to awaken in Arizona on Monday as the first Canadian club to capture the Isobel Cup.
“It’s an indescribable feeling,” Brittany Howard, a Six forward, said on a video call with journalists on Monday. She grew up in St. Thomas, Ont. “We got the job done and that’s what we wanted to do. I think it is going to take a couple of weeks to sink in. Tereza Vanisova scored the winner for Toronto a little more than four minutes into extra time to beat the Minnesota Whitecaps 4-3. The Six had trailed 3-2 in the third period before Taylor Woods evened things up almost eight minutes into the third period.
The Six lost the opening game of the first round of the playoffs to the Connecticut Whale and had to win twice to reach the winner-take-all championship. It has been a bit of a slog but people in the hockey world are paying more attention. In December, the league increased its salary cap for next year to US $1.5 million from US $750,000. In January, the Six signed Daryl Watts, an NCAA star from Toronto, to a record contract at US$150,000 per season.“People always want to have a good, winning team in their city and we provide that for them,” Davison said. “I hope that will help promote our league and the game.
