Welcome to the 2024 PWHL Minnesota Inaugural Season White Game-Worn Jersey Auction.
The PWHL-MeiGray Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program is proud to offer fans and collectors across the globe the opportunity to own a piece of history ... the jersey worn by #35 Maddie Rooney of the PWHL Minnesota during the Professional Women's Hockey League's inaugural 2024 season.
MeiGray has teamed up with the Professional Women's Hockey League to bring fully authenticated jerseys from its inaugural season to fans and collectors as the league's popularity continues to skyrocket.
Maddie Rooney wore this white jersey while playing for PWHL Minnesota during the inaugural 2024 Professional Women's Hockey League season, including during the team's inaugural game against PWHL Boston on January 3, 2024 at Tsongas Arena in Lowell, MA. Minnesota defeated Boston, 3-2.
The jersey is photo-matched to Minnesota's 2-0 victory over PWHL New York on March 3, 2024 at UBS Arena in Elmont, NY.
PWHL Minnesota wore this first set of white jerseys in eight games from January 3 through March 3, 2024.
PWHL Toronto selected PWHL Minnesota - in the midst of a five-game losing streak - as its Walter Cup Semifinals opponent, per the PWHL's unique new rule. After being shut out in the first two games of the series, Minnesota went on to make an improbable run, holding Toronto to one goal in the next three games and completing a reverse sweep to reach the Walter Cup Finals.
In a captivating series that went five games, Minnesota celebrated what they thought was a series-winning double overtime goal in Game 4, but was overturned due to goaltender interference. Nevertheless, Minnesota stormed into Tsongas Arena in Lowell, MA for Game 5 and locked down PWHL Boston with a 3-0 victory to win the first ever Walter Cup.
Rooney formed a fearsome goaltending tandem with Nicole Hensley in 2024. She posted a 2.08 goals against average and a .915 save percentage in 10 regular season games with two shutouts, and a ridiculous 1.12 goals against average and .948 save percentage with two shutouts in five Walter Cup Playoffs games. Rooney joined PWHL Minnesota from Team adidas of the PWHPA, where she was a finalist for Goaltender of the Year in 2023. The two-time Olympian owns a gold medal from the 2018 Games in PyeongChang as well as a silver medal from 2022 in Beijing. She has also won three medals at IIHF World Championships with Team USA, including two gold medals. Rooney graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 2020.
