EDMONTON, AB (December 27, 2025) – Taylor Heise’s first goal of the season was the overtime winner to lead the Minnesota Frost to a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Goldeneyes on Saturday afternoon before a crowd of 10,264 at Rogers Place in the DoorDash PWHL Takeover Tour™ presented by Explore Edmonton. Heise circled the offensive zone before firing a laser over the glove of Emerance Maschmeyer at 2:57 of the extra frame to give the two-time defending champion Frost their first-ever win over the expansion Goldeneyes. Both regulation goals were scored in the first period, beginning with Frost rookie Abby Hustler’s first career goal on an early power play at 1:18. The Goldeneyes responded quickly with Izzy Daniel’s first of the season at 3:14. Across two scoreless periods, Maddie Rooney stood tall in the Frost crease, turning aside 27 shots for her first win of the season in three starts. Maschmeyer, who hails from nearby Bruderheim, AB, stopped a season-high 33 shots in her homecoming. Both teams will play once more before the New Year with Minnesota visiting Toronto on Dec. 30 and Vancouver traveling to New York for a Dec. 31 matchup. This was the first of two Takeover Tour games to be played at Rogers Place this season with Vancouver returning to host the Boston Fleet on Apr. 7, 2026.
