Background edit

On May 15, 2018, the NWHL announced that it had an agreement in principle to acquire ownership of the Whitecaps.[1] The team is expected to join the NWHL as an expansion team for the 2018–19 season. The NWHL arranged with the Minnesota Wild to use TRIA Rink, the Wild's practice facility, as the site for Whitecaps home games.[2] It was reported that the Whitecaps had hired 2018 Olympic gold medal-winning coach Robb Stauber and his wife Shivaun Stauber as coaches, sharing the head coaching responsibilities,[3] but the parties never signed a contract. Whitecaps' founder and general manager Jack Brodt then returned to the coaching position he held prior to joining the NWHL and hired former University of Minnesota player Ronda Curtin Engelhardt as co-coach.[4]

The NWHL unveiled a new logo for the Whitecaps on August 21, 2018. Created by M Style Marketing,[5] the colors incorporate blue, while, silver and black.
