“This group is so special, and it’s sad to think that we’ll never all play together again,” said veteran goaltender Maddie Rooney, who starred in a Game 4 duel with Ottawa’s Gwyneth Philips in a game and title the Frost won. “But this is the highest note we could have gone out on, to share this memory all together.

“We’ll remember this the rest of our lives and the celebration now to come, we’ll be in the moment and enjoy it with one another and with friends and family. We’ll wish the best to each going forward in the coming seasons.”

General manager Melissa Caruso, coach Ken Klee, coaches and scouts together will make decisions on expansion draft and college draft matters.

“I don’t control those things,” Klee said about the changes coming. “Our team this year is different than it was last year. It’s still incredibly hard to win. With the expansion draft, it’s a new challenge. It’s sad because we’re going to lose some great teammates.

“But it’s exciting for the league. We’re getting 50 new players in the league and two new teams. We’ll try to manage who we’re losing and that sort of thing. And then we’ll have another draft class and look to win again. That’s the name of the game.”
