The NWHL season kicked off on Saturday with a triple-header where all six teams faced off for the first time. The Whitecaps took on the Boston Pride, what was set to be the premier matchup of day one. These two teams should have met for the Isobel Cup final last year before COVID-19 concerns prevented the game from being played.
This is their first meeting since. Needless to say, all eyes were on this game to see who would win. And the Whitecaps delivered. In stunning fashion, they took down the Pride 2-1, after allowing the Pride to take the lead with their one goal, and gave them their first loss since Jan.
