The Premier Hockey Federation’s Toronto Six defeated the Minnesota Whitecaps in overtime by a 4–3 score on Sunday evening to capture their first Isobel Cup championship in franchise history.
Tereza Vanisova scored the OT winner at Mullett Arena in Tempe, AZ to seal the victory for Toronto, which finished the 2022–23 regular season as the PHF’s second-best team.
Six forward Michela Cava was named playoff MVP after collecting three goals and six points in four games.
Toronto goaltender Elaine Chuli made 21 saves on Sunday to guide her team to the championship. Led by first-year head coach Geraldine Heaney, the Six outshot the Whitecaps by a 39–24 margin in the final (and 7–1 in overtime).
It only took until the 4:23 mark of overtime for Vanisova to score the Isobel Cup-winning goal. Vanisova was named the player of the game and now adds a third PHF championship to her resume after winning with the Boston Pride in 2021 and 2022.
