Frozen: when the PWHL belt sat out the postseason

1 season the belt holder missed the postseason and carried the belt into the next season.

The belt only moves when its holder plays. When the holder's season ends early, the belt freezes: the champions get crowned in the postseason, and the belt waits for next season. It has happened 1 time in PWHL belt history.

Every frozen season, newest first

  1. 2025–26: Vancouver Goldeneyes sat out the postseason with the belt while Montréal Victoire won the title.
