Being from Victoria, it’s a bit of a full circle moment
To add to this:
Of the Presidents’ Trophy winners since 2012-13 (including doubles, i.e Washington/Boston), 7/11 made the Stanley Cup Final within 5 years of winning the Presidents’ Trophy.
5 have won it all.
Doubles skew it a bit, but Presidents' Trophy = good.
FWIW, the presidents trophy curse doesn't exist. Usually the team ends up winning in the next few years which is statistically not likely, making the "curse" actually a blessing -- or stays in playoff contention. It's not easy to win the Stanley Cup. We praise the league for
"The legacy of this trophy is only going to keep growing and growing and growing. To be the first is an honour, a privilege."
PWHL Minnesota are Walter Cup Champions.

New: After an electric Homecoming victory over the McGill Redbirds, the TMU Bold men’s hockey team, like the crowds atmosphere, fell flat on the second game of their back-to-back series.
My recap

@eyeopenersports
Shiann Darkangelo had over a PPG with the Toronto 6ix last season in the PHF and was their captain when they hoisted the Isobel Cup.
Just one assist in 17 games this season, but she will add to Ottawa's forward depth and provide some more leadership.
