The Whitecaps joined the NWHL as an expansion team for the 2018–19 season In their inaugural season, the Whitecaps finished as the first seed and regular season champions. Minnesota’s No.1 seed gave them the right to host the semifinal and championship at the TRIA rink (Minnesota Wild practice facility).

This season they sold out all ten games they’ve played at TRIA rink. The brand new club had one of the most impressive inaugural seasons we have seen. The team is run by coach and general manager, Jack Brodt.

The most popular player on the team is Kendall Coyne Schofield. Schofield,26, got famous in the hockey world when she participated in the 2019 NHL All-Star Skills fastest-skater challenge. She became the first women to compete in an NHL All-Stars Skills competition.
