Taylor Heise scored the overtime winner to lift the Minnesota Frost to a 2-1 victory over the Boston Fleet on Wednesday night

The win is the Frost’s third in as many games this season against the Fleet, and the second in seven days by an overtime finish. Hannah Bilka scored early on for the Fleet, making this the first time Boston has opened the scoring against Minnesota this season.

Later in the first period, Denisa Křížová scored her first goal of the campaign, tying the game at one and ending the game’s regulation scoring. Heise’s winner came at 3:20 of the extra frame on Minnesota’s first shot of overtime on Emma Söderberg, who stopped 24 shots throughout regulation. Maddie Rooney picked up her fourth win of the season with a 26-save performance.

ATV riders shell out millions riding northern Minnesota trails, study finds

Survey respondents, who came from 63 different Minnesota counties and 14 different states and the District of Columbia, were drawn by this region’s reputation.

“When we asked survey respondents ‘how did you hear about it,’ the most common response was via word of mouth,” said Brigid Tuck, lead researcher from the University of Minnesota Extension. “There is a positive reputation out there that is bringing people to this area.”

The findings could be used to leverage more money from the state and to make a case for more trail coverage in this region, according to Sen. Grant Hauschild, DFL-Hermantown.

“We need to make the case to other legislators from the Twin Cities, from Mankato, from other places that, look, your people own these licenses, they own these ATVs, and they’re coming to our region to utilize our outdoors and our land for their benefit,” Hauschild said.

Between 2005 and 2020, registrations for ATVs increased by 36%, according to the study.

ATVs have gotten a bad rap in the past, said Ron Potter, president of ATV Minnesota. He credits the development of organized ATV clubs with changing that. Ten years ago there were no clubs, he said. Now there are 70 in Minnesota.
