The Pride more than lived up to the city’s Titletown rep in the first season of the NWHL. C0-captain Hilary Knight led the league in goals and assists and scored the overtime winner in Game 1 of the Isobel Cup, which the Pride won with a two-game sweep. However, the team showed its true character months before the championship. When forward Denna Laing suffered a tragic spinal cord injury after crashing into the boards during the Outdoor Women’s Classic, the team rallied by her side and have kept supporting her with fundraisers and the #14strong social media campaign.
