Sophia Kunin wore this white jersey while playing for PWHL Minnesota during the inaugural PWHL Player Evaluation Camp.
PWHL Minnesota played three games during the Evaluation Camp, defeating Ottawa 9-4 on December 4, earning a regulation win over Toronto that finished 5-5 after the shootout on December 5, and defeating Montreal 4-3 on December 7.
Kunin was wearing this jersey when she earned two points during Minnesota's first game of the preseason camp on December 4, 2023 against PWHL Ottawa at the Nexus Center in Utica, NY. Kunin helped get her team their first goal of the week when she made a cross-ice pass in the low slot to Taylor Heise, who was rushing to the side of the net to accept the pass and put it away. Kunin later scored her first goal of the week into the empty net, securing the victory for Minnesota.
Kunin was wearing this jersey again when she earned two points in Minnesota's last game of the evaluation camp on December 7, 2023 against PWHL Montreal. She provided an assist on each of Kelly Pannek's two goals in the first period, giving Minnesota a lead they held for the remainder of the game. Kunin was named Third Star of the Game for her performance. With the 4-3 regulation victory, Minnesota became the first of only two teams to sweep all their games at the camp.
At the close of the week, Kunin’s four points tied for the team’s scoring lead.
Kunin joins PWHL Minnesota after winning a Secret Cup Championship with Team Harvey's of the PWHPA in 2023, her second title after winning with Team adidas in 2021. Kunin brings additional championship pedigree from her collegiate years; she captained the University of Wisconsin Badgers to an NCAA title in 2019.
Every jersey worn by each of these participating MeiGray Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program clubs contains a uniquely numbered inventory tag sewn into the jersey BEFORE IT IS WORN BY THE PLAYER ON THE ICE. This tag is equipped with covert security features regularly checked by MGG Program Directors so we can tell who wore the jersey, and when.
