In a rarity for professional sports, PWHL Toronto was put on the spot or given an opportunity, if one wants to look at the positive, in choosing its first-round opponent.
After much debate, which included management, the coaching staff and players as well, Toronto elected to choose fourth-place Minnesota. “It was definitely not an easy decision,” Toronto GM Gina Kingsbury said. “There is no easy opponent in this league. We looked at all different angles. We talked to our leadership group and leaned on our athletes, just what they are feeling and how they feel against all of these opponents that we got to choose from. Obviously looked at the analytics and numbers and how we matched up against these teams throughout the season.
Minnesota lost it’s final five regular season games, earning its playoff berth on a much more productive and successful early portion of its season. In a bit of an ironic twist, Minnesota’s playoff ticket got punched when Toronto defeated Ottawa in the final regular season game.
