Minnesota Frost's Britta Curl-Salemme Suspended for Game 2 of PWHL Semifinals
The league said the discipline follows an illegal check to the head and a separate facial-protector altercation in Game 1.
- On Monday, the Professional Women's Hockey League suspended Minnesota Frost forward Britta Curl-Salemme for one game and fined her $250, stemming from two incidents during Saturday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Montreal Victoire in Walter Cup playoff action.
- The PWHL Player Safety Committee cited an illegal check to the head of Montreal forward Kaitlin Willoughby and a separate altercation where Curl-Salemme pulled the facial protector of Victoire forward Abby Roque, ruling she "made no attempt to play the puck."
- Frost coach Ken Klee defended the player after Game 1, stating, "She's not out there obviously trying to hurt anyone," while noting the team "shuffled our lines" when she exited the game.
- Curl-Salemme will miss Game 2 on Tuesday, May 5, in Laval, Quebec. The second-year forward finished the regular season third in league scoring with 29 points and a league-leading 18 assists.
- Although this marks her first suspension of the 2025-26 season, Curl-Salemme served three one-game suspensions as a rookie last season, twice for illegal checks to the head and once for high-sticking.
