The Clarkson Cup has been called “the Stanley Cup for Women.” It pits the top women’s clubs from across North America in a season championship. In 2011, the Montreal Stars and the Toronto Furies – with Olympic players on both teams - fought hard for the Clarkson Cup in a game that was broadcast on TSN with the honor going to the Montreal Stars.

We’re thrilled that this year’s Clarkson Cup will be held at the Gale Center in Niagara Falls, Ontario on March 21-25th, 2012. Historically, women’s hockey has had tremendous support in Niagara Region so we anticipate that this year’s cup will be one to remember. The Right Honorable Adrienne Clarkson, who donated the cup, is expected to be in attendance.
