Like the rest of its Professional Women’s Hockey League counterparts, Minnesota’s team doesn’t have a name yet. (

 a trademark for the name Minnesota Superior was filed in October. But new teams often file trademark applications for multiple names.)

There are 21 Minnesotans playing in the league, with 13 of them playing for their home team. Minnesota also has five players from the 2022 silver medal-winning U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team.
