FIRST EVER NATIONAL WOMENS MIDGET CHAMPIONSHIPS TO BE HELD IN CALGARY, ALBERTA
Monday, December 1, 2008 -2:43pm

CALGARY, AB -Hockey Canada has announced that the 2009 Esso Cup, Canada's National Women's Midget Championship, will be held at Max Bell Arena in Calgary, AB from April 19-25, 2009. It will be the first-ever National Women's Midget Championship.

The event will feature five teams -one host team and four regional champions (Pacific, West, Central, Atlantic). The host team will be announced at a later date.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Quebec has withdrawn from the 2009 Esso Cup. It hopes to make its debut in 2010.

The teams will play a five-day round-robin, with semifinals (1st vs. 4th, 2nd vs. 3rd) set for Friday, April 24. The bronze medal game and gold medal game, which will be broadcast nationally on TSN/RDS, will take place on Saturday, April 25.

â€œThe women's game in Canada continues to grow, especially at the minor hockey level, and this is a logical next step,â€ said Julie Healy, director of female hockey for Hockey Canada. â€œWe are excited to be a part of this tournament, and to crown another national champion for women's hockey.â€

â€œThis is a great opportunity for Calgary to showcase such a high-profile event,â€ said Terry Ledingham, president of Hockey Alberta. â€œThe inaugural National Women's Midget Championship will without a doubt be a huge success and we look forward to working with both Hockey Calgary and Girls Hockey Calgary leading up to the start of the event.â€

Esso, one of Hockey Canada's premier sponsors, will be the title sponsor of Canada's National Women's Midget Championship. Esso sponsored the National Women's Championship for 14 years, from 1995 to 2008.
