Clarkson Cup back in an NHL arena featuring Inferno, Les Canadiennes rematch
In its 10th season, the Canadian Women’s Hockey League is getting assists from the NHL in the form of bricks and mortar.
Sunday’s Clarkson Cup in Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre between the defending champion Calgary Inferno and Les Canadiennes de Montreal will be the third CWHL game played in an NHL arena this season.
The league held its all-star game in Toronto’s Air Canada Centre in February. Les Canadiennes edged the Inferno 1-0 in the first ever CWHL game played in Montreal’s Bell Centre on Dec. 10.
The NHL teams in those markets do more than just provide the building, according to Inferno defenceman Meaghan Mikkelson-Reid.
