The 2023–24 PWHL Minnesota season was the team's inaugural season as a member of the newly created Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). They played their home games at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

PWHL Minnesota clinched the league's final playoff spot on the last day of the regular season, and regular season-champion PWHL Toronto selected Minnesota as its semifinal opponent.[4] Minnesota went on to defeat Toronto in a five-game series, winning three straight games after losing the first two.[5] Minnesota advanced to the PWHL Finals, where they faced PWHL Boston. 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]

Offseason

On September 1, 2023, Minnesota hired Natalie Darwitz as its general manager.[9] Darwitz hired Charlie Burggraf as the team's first head coach on September 15.[10] Jake Bobrowski and Mira Jalosuo were hired as assistant coaches on October 6.[11] On September 25, The Hockey News reported that Minnesota would play their home games at Xcel Energy Center.[12]

On September 6, Minnesota announced the signings of their first three players, American national team members Lee Stecklein, Kendall Coyne Schofield, and Kelly Pannek.[13] Coyne Schofield was named team captain, with Stecklein and Pannek named assistant captains.[14] Minnesota won the first overall selection in the inaugural PWHL draft on September 18; with the pick, the team selected Minnesota Golden Gophers forward Taylor Heise.[15]

On December 27, 2023—one week before Minnesota's season-opening game—the team announced that Burggraf was stepping down as the team's head coach, and would be replaced by Ken Klee.[16]
