The Minnesota Gophers women’s hockey team begins postseason play this weekend when they host last place St. Thomas in a best-of-three series at Ridder Arena. Its the first of what should be three weekends in a row for the Gophers at home in the postseason as they host the WCHA Final Faceoff next weekend, and they seem to have locked up a home NCAA Tournament Quarterfinal the following weekend. Minnesota will get to showcase their seven All-WCHA Team honorees who were named on Wednesday as well.
Minnesota enters the postseason on a seven game winning streak that clinched them their first WCHA regular season championship since 2018-19.
