On Thursday, January 22 the Crossfield Minor Hockey Association hosted a WWHL game between the Strathmore Rockies and the Minnesota Whitecaps. The day kicked off with a clinic for young hockey players from the Crossfield area, where kids were given the chance to learn and improve their hockey skills from some of the best women's hockey players in the West. 

Crossfield mayor, Phil McCracken, was on hand for the ceremonial faceoff along with Mike Graham, Crossfield community member and the President of the Canadian Foothills division at EnCana. Victoria DuBois did an excellent job singing both the American and Canadian national anthems.

The arena was packed with many people coming out to support both teams.  The kids did an extremely good job cheering for the Rockies. The game was very entertaining with the Whitecaps coming up on top in a 7-3 final.

The Rockies also stayed around after the game to sign autographs for their fans. Overall fun was had by all and it was a great opportunity for the younger players to see the high level of women's hockey being played in the area.

A special thanks to all the volunteers from CMHA that came out to help with the game!
