Bemidji state women s hockey vs minnesota whitecaps 11 11 16
The Minnesota Whitecaps are a professional women's ice hockey team. The team play its home games in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota area. The Whitecaps do not have a home rink, and so must reach out to Minnesota youth hockey programs that can either afford to buy ice time at rinks suitable for Whitecaps home games or have had that ice time donated to them. In exchange, the Whitecaps use part of that ice time to put on clinics for the youth players, who receive free tickets to the games and whose hockey associations receive 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales. Some programs have raised more than $1,500 in a single night from the arrangement.

History
The Whitecaps were part of the Western Women's Hockey League (WWHL) from the fall of 2004 until the summer of 2006. In July 2006 it was announced that team, along with other WWHL teams, would be joining the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) for the 2006-07 season. However, this was short lived as the NWHL and WWHL could not reach an agreement upon a playoff schedule. As a result, the merger was not consummated. With the collapse of the NWHL in the summer of 2007, the Western Women's Hockey League was a completely independent league.
The Whitecaps took home 3 championships during the regular seasons in the WWHL: 2008-09, 2009–10 and 2010-11.
During the qualifying WWHL rounds 2008-09, in March 7, 2009, the Minnesota Whitecaps won the semi-final match 4-0 against Edmonton Chimos. The next day, the Whitecaps overcome the Calgary Oval X-Treme by the score of 2-0 in the championship match in Calgary.
During the 2009 Clarkson Cup, Whitecaps pulled an upset against the Brampton Thunder and the Calgary Oval X-Treme. The Whitecaps played in the final match of the Clarkson Cup but were undone by a score of 3-1 by the Montreal Stars who would take home the Clarkson Cup.
The following season, 2009–10, the Whitecaps took home the WWHL Championship. The first match of the WWHL qualifying round took place on Friday, February 5, 2010 in Minnesota Pagel Ice Arena and Whitecaps defeated the Strathmore Rockies by a score of 6-3. During the second match, held on Saturday, February 6 in Victory Memorial Ice Arena, the Whitecaps beat Strathmore by a score of 4-1. The third match, held on Sunday, February 7, at the Graham Arena saw Strathmore taking the 4-3 victory over the Whitecaps.

Whitecaps stands out from it big winners of the tournament and beat 4-0 Brampton Thunder in finale match ( March 28) · . It is the only conquest of the Clarkson Cup by Minnesota Whitecaps.
