Minnesota Frost captain and U.S. Olympian Kendall Coyne Schofield will sit out the upcoming Professional Women's Hockey League season after announcing her pregnancy, according to a report by John Wawrow published Thursday.
Coyne Schofield, who led the Frost to the Walter Cup championship on May 26, 2025, with a victory over the Ottawa Charge in St. Paul, Minnesota, is one of the most decorated players in women's hockey. The forward has won multiple Olympic medals with Team USA and was named captain of the Frost for the league's inaugural season.
The announcement comes as the PWHL prepares for its second season. No timeline for Coyne Schofield's return has been disclosed.
