4 Nations Cup is upon us! Fans of NWHL and CWHL will have noticed the distinct lack of games this past weekend and again next weekend. This is because the national team players are off in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for the annual 4 Nations Cup.
There are a number of women’s hockey tournaments throughout the year that are referred to as “Four Nations”, as well as a tournament called Nations Cup, but 4 Nations Cup is the big one, because it’s the only one that both the Canadian and American senior women’s national teams participate in.
We’re only eight months past Team USA’s Olympic triumph, and this is the first competition on the road to the next Olympics.
