Drop the puck! Minnesota PWHL star scores hockey cameo in Inside Out 2

The sequel Inside Out 2 debuts in theaters Friday, and while the film may not show the state of hockey this time, there is a familiar Minnesota voice in the mix.

Kendall Coyne Schofield, captain of the Minnesota professional women's hockey team, was approached by Pixar in March 2023 to be the voice of a hockey announcer in the hit coming-of-age film.

Riley Andersen, the main character, is originally from Minnesota, but moved to San Francisco with her parents in the first film. Now she's thirteen and entering puberty while trying to balance friendship, making the high school hockey team, and dealing with anxiety and other new emotions.

Andersen goes to a hockey camp, but must decide whether to hang out with her old friends or leave them behind for the promise of becoming a hockey star. If that isn't hard enough, the emotions continue to battle in her head.

The film comes at a historic moment for women's sports across the country and in Minnesota. Last month, PWHL Minnesota won the championship in the league's first year.

Coyne Schofield has spoken out about the need for Minnesota girls and women to see themselves on the ice, and now on screen.

On Thursday, she posted on Instagram She attended the film's opening nights in Los Angeles and Chicago and can't wait for you all to see this amazing film in theaters on Friday.

At a news conference before a PWHL game in St. Paul in May, league consultant Billie Jean King said Coyne Schofield came to King and her partner Ilana Kloss to ask for their help in forming the women's league.

She said: will you help us? said King. And we didn't know anything about hockey anyway, but we said, yeah, what can we do to help? Things don't happen overnight. It really takes so many different people and so much work. Girls aren't taught to ask for what we want and need, so when Kendall asked us that question, it was excellent.
