The Six edged past the Boston Pride in a thrilling overtime match to capture their first-ever Isobel Cup in franchise history on Saturday. The game was a nail-biter from start to finish, with both teams coming out with guns blazing. However, it was the Six’s grit and determination that ultimately pushed them over the edge and into victory. Let’s take a closer look at how the Six managed to capture their historic win.
The Toronto Six have made history by becoming the first Canadian team to win the Isobel Cup championship in the Premier Hockey Federation. The Six faced off against the Minnesota Whitecaps in what turned out to be a thrilling contest, with the Six eventually coming away with a 4-3 victory in overtime. Tereza Vanisova was the hero of the night, scoring the game-winning goal just over four minutes into the extra period. Vanisova outmuscled Liz Schepers in the right corner to force a turnover before scoring the goal that secured the championship for the Six.
The Six had to battle back from a goal down to eventually take the lead in the third period, with Taylor Woods scoring the goal that brought them level before Vanisova’s heroics. The win was particularly impressive given Minnesota’s form leading up to the tournament. The Whitecaps swept the powerful Boston Pride in the playoffs and turned heads with their performances.
Vanisova, a member of the Czech national women’s team, now holds the record of being just the second player in the history of the tournament to win three Isobel Cup titles, putting her in esteemed company alongside Boston Pride captain Jillian Dempsey.
In conclusion, the Six captured their first Isobel Cup in franchise history after an intense game that went into overtime. The Whitecaps put up a strong fight, but ultimately fell short in their quest for the championship. The Six’s victory is a testament to their hard work and determination throughout the season. We can’t wait to see what’s next for these talented players and congratulate them on an amazing accomplishment. Here’s to hoping for many more thrilling OT victories in the future!
