By officially commending the PWHL Minnesota, the resolution aims to elevate the visibility and significance of women's hockey, fostering a more inclusive atmosphere in professional sports. Such acknowledgment can lead to increased support, interest, and investment in women's leagues, thus encouraging more female participation in sports.
