The Frost and forward Britta Curl-Salemme agreed on a two-year contract extension that will run through the 2027-28 season, the team announced Monday.
A second-round pick in the 2024 PWHL draft, Curl-Salemme had nine goals and six assists in 28 regular-season games last season before helping the Frost to the league playoff championship. She had a game-tying goal with 16 seconds remaining in regulation, then the overtime winner in Game 2 against Ottawa in the PWHL Finals.
Curl-Salemme, 25, is a native of Bismarck, N.D., and was a two-time captain and three-time NCAA champion at Wisconsin. She had 86 goals in 181 games for the Badgers.
She has also played for Team USA in four women’s world championships and is a candidate for the 2026 U.S. Olympic team.
“I am thrilled to be staying in Minnesota for the next three years,” Curl-Salemme said in a team release. “This community and organization feels like home, and I can’t wait to compete for another Walter Cup wearing the Frost jersey in front of our great fans!”
Goalie Maddie Rooney is also signed through the 2027-28 season. Also under contract for the coming season are Kendall Coyne Schofield, Kelly Pannek, Taylor Heise, Grace Zumwinkle, Claire Butorac, Klára Hymlárová, Katy Knoll and Dominique Petrie, as well as 2025 draft picks Abby Hustler and Anna Segedi.
The two-time defending champion Frost open the 2025-26 season Nov. 21 against Toronto at Grand Casino Arena.
