2024 Inaugural PWHL Walter Cup Champion - Maddie Rooney
This inaugural @thepwhlofficial season, I had the opportunity to work for women on 5 of the 6 teams. In the case of the #WalterCup Champions my clients were @maddie_rooney35 & #KellyPannek. Both women have had tremendous success in their #USWNT career, but Maddie has had her resolve and patience tested the past 18 months through folks who in my opinion don’t understand how much of a fighter she is.
90 players called and she was not one of them inexplicably in the inaugural #PWHLdraft and through the journey of playing with long time FRIEND Nicole Hensley the two of them literally split the season for @pwhl_minnesota.
In the first game ever @xcelenergyctr in front of 13,000+ people she registered a shutout vs Montréal. Maddie came in relief during the #PWHLplayoffs semifinal round and helped engineer a #ReverseSweep over 1 seed #Toronto while also putting together a 173 min+ shutout streak with 2 shutouts and played Game 1 of the #PWHLFinals. This scoreless streak would have been the 24th longest in STANLEY CUP HISTORY. It was remarkable.
All of this aside, her legendary career before the age of 27, she has won just about everything with a smile on her face and ready for what is next on and off the ice.
