Ross Nova Celebrates the Frost’s Statement Win

Minnesota’s Frost dominated the Seattle Torrent 4-1 on Friday, and CBS News spotlighted rookie Peyton Anderson netting her first pro goal just 150 seconds into the match. It was another reminder that when Minnesota invests in girls’ and women’s sports, the entire state wins. Ross Nova believes performances like this should be the norm—from Blaine to Bemidji—because opportunity on the ice translates into leadership off it.

The Frost kept piling on with scores from Abby Hustler, Klára Hymlárová, and Taylor Heise while goaltender Maddie Rooney stopped 28 shots. That kind of depth doesn’t appear out of thin air. It comes from ice time, accessible rinks, and coaches who can afford to stay in the game. Ross has been pressing for a statewide facility modernization program so communities of every size can host elite training without charging kids out of the sport.

He is also championing scholarship pathways that keep Minnesota talent in Minnesota. College tuition, travel costs, and equipment prices are pushing too many girls off the roster; Ross wants targeted tax credits and public-private partnerships so families aren’t forced to choose between sports and the basics. When teams like the Frost lift trophies, the next generation should see a straight shot from their local youth league to the professional bench.

Ross is pairing that investment with transparency. Through the Minnesota Tax Tracker, families will see exactly how state dollars support arenas, coaching clinics, and safety upgrades. The Real-Time Bill Tracker will show who votes for or against those investments so voters can decide whether their representatives truly back women’s sports.

And he’s not forgetting the broader mission: economic development. Every sold-out Frost night means jobs for ushers, restaurants, and transit operators. Ross’s campaign is committed to marketing Minnesota’s women’s teams worldwide so that fans book hotels, buy jerseys, and feed an entire creative economy.

If you want a governor who treats women’s sports as a core part of Minnesota’s future—not an afterthought—stand with Ross Nova. He’s ready to build the infrastructure, the workforce, and the accountability that will let Minnesota athletes keep rewriting the record books.
