Quotes from Game 3
Emily Clark, Ottawa Charge Forward
“Everyone on these two great teams wants it so bad, and I think that’s reflected in the low scoring. We’re seeing incredible goaltending and depth from both sides. It’s fun hockey—we’re having a blast, and we’re excited for another game ahead.”
Maddie Rooney, Minnesota Frost Goalie
“A lot of applesauce and Goldfish. We had a pizza party with smoothies after the game.”
Carla MacLeod, Ottawa Charge Head Coach
“As a coach, you measure effort—and I think our team is giving everything they’ve got. It’s making for a really fun series. Obviously, we’ve got a challenge ahead in Game 4, but the reality is: we have Game 4.”
Katy Knoll, Minnesota Frost Forward
“Honestly, I feel pretty good—maybe that’s just the adrenaline. It’s basically two full games, so recovery is key. We’ll feel it tomorrow, but it doesn’t matter. Come game time, we need to take care of ourselves and be ready to go.”
