Esso Women's Nationals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Esso Women's Nationals is the Canadian women's senior ice hockey championship, established in 1982. The winners of the event receives the Abby Hoffman Cup. Nine or ten teams (depending on the tournament) qualify for the event, with two from the province hosting the event.
As a result of the split between the National Women's Hockey League and the Western Women's Hockey League in 2004, this is the only event in the professional women's hockey calendar that sees teams from the two leagues play against each other.
