Women’s All-Star inclusion a hit: ‘We made history here’

ST. LOUIS -- For the third consecutive year, the NHL incorporated some of the top players in the women's game into its All-Star weekend, and the women did not disappoint.

The NHL debuted the Elite Women's 3-on-3 game during Friday's skills competition, a 20-minute game between some of the top players from the U.S. and Canadian women's national teams.

The fast-paced, intense game ended in a 2-1 win for Canada on the scoreboard, but the event was a win for all of women's hockey.

"It was just a phenomenal 20 minutes," Kendall Coyne Schofield said after the game.
