The Minnesota Frost announced Monday that FanDuel Sports Network — formerly Bally Sports — would air their remaining 27 regular-season Professional Women’s Hockey League games.

Bally Sports North held the local rights to Frost games last year as the Minnesota women’s hockey team won the league’s inaugural Walter Cup.

FanDuel Sports Network North will begin its broadcast deal by airing Thursday’s home matchup against the Ottawa Charge at 7 p.m. Next will be Sunday’s game at New York.

The channel is accessible on cable, satellite and streaming providers across most of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota. Games will also stream on the FanDuel Sports Network app.

The financial details of the deal were not announced.

While the PWHL struck an exclusive national broadcast deal in Canada, split across four channels, the U.S. lacks a national broadcasting partner. Outside of Canada, games were available on YouTube initially, before making the switch to Twitch last weekend.
