Minnesota prevailed in another five-game series, winning the inaugural Walter Cup championship.[6] Minnesota's first overall draft pick from the 2023 PWHL draft, Taylor Heise, led the playoffs in scoring and was voted the most valuable player of the playoffs.[7] After the season, Grace Zumwinkle was named the league's rookie of the year.[8]
