Drop the puck! Minnesota PWHL star scores a hockey cameo in ‘Inside Out 2’

The sequel “Inside Out 2” debuts at movie theaters on Friday and while the movie may not feature the state of hockey this time, there is a familiar Minnesota voice in the mix. 

Minnesota’s Professional Women’s Hockey team captain Kendall Coyne Schofield was contacted by Pixar in March 2023 to be the voice of a hockey announcer in the popular coming-of-age film. 

Riley Andersen, the main character, is originally from Minnesota but moved to San Francisco with her parents in the first film. Now, she is 13 and entering puberty while trying to balance friendship, making the high school hockey team and navigating anxiety and other new emotions. 

Andersen attends a hockey camp but has to decide whether she will hang out with her old friends or leave them behind for the promise of being a hockey star. If that is not hard enough, the emotions in her mind won’t stop fighting.

The movie comes at a historic time for women’s sports across the country and in Minnesota. Last month, PWHL Minnesota won the championship in the inaugural year of the league. 

Coyne Schofield has been vocal about the need for Minnesota girls and women to see themselves on the ice, and now the screen. 

On Thursday, she posted on Instagram that she’d been to opening nights for the movie in Los Angeles and Chicago and “can’t wait for you all to see this amazing movie” opening Friday in theaters.

At a press conference ahead of a PWHL game in St. Paul in May, league adviser Billie Jean King said Coyne Schofield came to King and her partner Ilana Kloss asking for their help to form the women’s league. 

“She said, will you help us?” King said. “And we knew nothing about hockey by the way, but we said, ‘Yeah, what can we do to help?’ Things don’t happen overnight. It really takes so many different people and so much work. Girls are not taught to ask for what we want and need, so when Kendall asked us that question, it was excellent.”
