The Calgary Inferno brought down Les Canadiennes 8-3 for their first ever Clarkson Cup, but the game was about much more than that.
The Calgary Inferno and Montreal Canadiennes met at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata for the Clarkson Cup on Sunday, the first Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL) playoff game in an NHL arena.It was a symbol of progress for a league that boasts the best women’s hockey players on the planet, and it didn’t take long to find an exciting high-tempo pace, and stay there.
