kiwi_canadian Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I think it's going to be the same as the Stanly Cup was originaly for and that was for the top senior club in Canada, kind of like what the Allan Cup is for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes there is a pro Women's league. It's Called the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL). They have the Toronto Areos, Vancouver Griffens, Calgary Ovel Extreme, Quebec Avalanche, and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs13 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'm predicting that the league folds in 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Actually, the NWHL teams split up into two leagues a year or two ago ? the NWHL and Western Women's Hockey League (WWHL).The WWHL consists of:? Calgary Oval Xtreme? Edmonton Chimos? B.C. Breakers? Minnesota Whitecaps? Saskatchewan Prairie IceThe NWHL consists of:? Quebec Avalanche? Montreal Axion? Oakville Ice? Ottawa Raiders? Durham Lightning? Toronto Aeros? Vancouver Griffins? Brampton ThunderThe TSN article mentions possibly having the champions of these respective leagues playing for the Clarkson Cup, or maybe the prize in a Canada-U.S. international showdown. It also mentions the Esso national championship, which I believe currently takes a couple of teams from each league and has them play off, kinda like the aforementioned Allan Cup.

lost_limey Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The WWHL consists of:? Calgary Oval Xtreme That's a horrendous name. It probably didn't help that I read it as Ovary Extreme and thought of Mooterus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably didn't help that I read it as Ovary Extreme and thought of Mooterus. I know ... *shakes head*. The Oval part comes from the fact that they are part of the Olympic Oval's high performance hockey program. The Xtreme part ... well, that's either laziness or trendiness ... either way it's shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 • Oakville Ice They should do something about the logo. The moved from Mississauga to Oakville, yet their logo still has a silhouette of Mississauga City Hall http://www.oakvilleice.net/ I saw, I came, I left.

Brian in Boston Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 How ironic. Quebec loses the Nordiques to Denver, where the franchise becomes the Colorado Avalanche. Then, a National Women's Hockey League franchise sets up shop in Quebec... and adopts the Avalanche name.Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kess Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hey, I didn't read the article, but it was nice of them to name the Cup after American Idol uber-star Kelly Clarkson. Good for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
