U.S. Olympian and Minnesota Frost captain Kendall Coyne Schofield will miss the upcoming Professional Women's Hockey League season after announcing her pregnancy, the team confirmed Thursday.
Coyne Schofield, who led the Frost to the Walter Cup championship in May 2025, made the announcement as the league prepares for its second season. The 32-year-old forward has been a cornerstone of the franchise since its inception and a key figure in the growth of women's professional hockey in North America.
The Frost organization expressed support for Coyne Schofield's decision, stating that her leadership and presence will be missed on the ice but celebrated off it. No timeline for her return has been provided.
