    [ad_1]


    Vice President JD Vance sat with influencer and boxer Jake Paul as they watched the U.S. women’s hockey team ease to a 5-0 win over Finland at the Winter Olympics on Saturday.

    Vance and his family entered during the intermission at the end of the first period, with the U.S. leading 1-0. Paul joined them shortly after. Paul’s fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, is a speedskater for the Netherlands at the Milano Cortina Games.

    Vance sat with his youngest child, daughter Mirabel, on his lap. Usha Vance, wearing a sweatshirt with “USA” in big letters, clapped along to Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” before the second period started.

    The vice president and his wife stood and clapped when the U.S. women’s team scored a goal. They were back on their feet, cheering a few minutes later when the U.S. women scored again.

    Among those seated near Vance were 2010 Olympic figure skating gold medalist Evan Lysacek and hockey’s twin sisters, Hall of Famers Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and Monique Lamoureux-Morando. They were members of the U.S. gold medal-winning team at the 2018 Winter Games.

    It’s the second time that Vance has watched the U.S. women’s team at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.

    He was also at the Milano Rho Ice Hockey Arena on Thursday, when the U.S. beat Czechia 5-1 in its opening game of the preliminary round.

  • Knoll, Zumwinkle score twice, Frost swamp Torrent 6-2

    [ad_1]


    Katy Knoll and Grace Zumwinkle scored two goals apiece and the Minnesota Frost handed the Seattle Torrent their worst loss, 6-2 on Sunday.

    Minnesota, which spoiled the Torrent’s inaugural home opener 3-0, became the first team to score more than four goals against the expansion team.

    Taylor Heise had a goal and two assists and Abby Hustler had a goal and an assist for the Frost (5-1-2-3). Maddie Rooney had 24 saves in picking up her second win.

    Jessie Eldridge and Danielle Serdachny scored for the Torrent (3-1-1-5). Minnesota threw a season-high 45 shots at Seattle goalie Hannah Murphy.

    Knoll opened the scoring with a power play goal late in the first period, putting a one-timer from the bottom of the left circle over Murphy’s shoulder.

    Zumwinkle poked in a rebound over her own miss in the opening seconds of the second period and midway through blew a wrist shot from the right circle over Murphy.

    Eldridge was alone out front for a wrister after intercepting a Heise pass, but Heise made up for that with a goal early in the third period before Knoll made it 4-1.

    Seattle, which ended a four-game road trip, returns home to play league-leading Boston on Sunday.

    Minnesota plays at the New York Siren on Friday.

    Abby Roque tied it with 29 seconds left with goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens off for an extra attacker, Marie-Philip Poulin scored her second goal of the game 3:12 into overtime and the Montreal Victoire beat the Minnesota Frost 3-2 on Sunday.

    Poulin skated through the defense and beat goalie Maddie Rooney with a backhander in front of a capacity crowd of 10,172 at Place Bell. Poulin ran her points streak to a career-high five games.

    Poulin also assisted on Roque’s goal, and Ann-Renée Desbiens made 19 saves. Montreal snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 3-2-0-4.

    Kendall Coyne Schofield scored her PWHL-leading eighth goal to give Minnesota the lead with 1:50 left. Roque then tipped in Poulin’s pass from the side of the net.

    Mae Batherson also scored for Minnesota, and Rooney made 35 saves. The Frost are 4-1-2-3. They earned six of 12 points on a four-game trip.

  • Kendall Coyne Schofield scores twice, Hensley stops 31 as Frost cruise to 5-1 win over Sceptres

    [ad_1]


    Kendall Coyne Schofield scored her league-leading sixth and seventh goals, Nicole Hensley shined with a 31-save outing, and the Minnesota Frost topped the Toronto Sceptres 5-1 on Tuesday night.

    Katy Knoll, Britta Curl-Salemme and Grace Zumwinkle also scored for Minnesota. Taylor Heise had three assists.

    Daryl Watts had the lone goal for Toronto. Elaine Chuli made 14 saves, with Raygan Kirk turning away two shots in relief in the third period.

    Watts opened the scoring 4:55 into the contest when she backhanded a puck over Hensley’s right shoulder on a pass into the slot from Renata Fast.

    Curl-Salemme put Minnesota ahead at 12:59. With one skate behind the goal line, some feet away from the end boards, Curl-Salemme fired it in off Chuli’s shoulder, who seemed to have to duck her head to not get hit by the shot.

    Coyne Schofield made it a three-goal game with 4.4 seconds left in the second when her low backhand shot trickled in five-hole on Chuli, who was replaced by Kirk after the period.

    Coyne Schofield added an empty-netter with 3:17 left after Toronto pulled Kirk for an extra attacker with 5:45 remaining.

    With her first-period goal, Watts became the second PWHL player to have 50 career points, joining Montreal’s Marie-Philip Poulin (55).

  • Pro hockey champ Brittyn Fleming is helping lead Rogers Royals

    [ad_1]


    The Rogers High School girls hockey team in Rogers, Minnesota, feels re-energized by a new addition to their coaching staff this season.

    Brittyn Fleming is the newest assistant coach for the Royals, and she comes with quite the resume. She spent five seasons playing for the Minnesota State University Mavericks as their lead scorer.

    Fleming then was on the repeat Walter Cup championship roster with the Minnesota Frost for their first two seasons.

    Finding so much success in college and the pros, she was ready for a change.

    “I just did a lot of reflecting and I knew that I wanted to give back to the sport that gave me so much,” Fleming said.

    New to this role on the ice, Fleming hopes to model her coaching style after her own dad.

    “He was just an incredible coach, and I strive to be the coach that he was,” she said. “He cared so much about his players not only on the ice but off the ice, and I really respect that, and I just hope to do that with these girls.”

    These high school players really admire who they’re learning from.

    “She’s super cool and it’s been so fun getting to know her,” said junior defender Alyssa Nuernberg. “She’s just so nice and a great role model for our team.”

    Nuernberg says Coach Fleming has helped her love the game more.

    “Her at the rink, her presence has made such a big impact on us already,” Nuernberg said.

    Fleming hopes she can bring more success to this young program.

    “They are really eager to learn and they respect my past and my career, and I love that,” Fleming said.
