We are officially 15 days away from puck drop! The inaugural HERitage Female Classic is set to take over The Meadows and Downtown Community Arena from January 29th to February 1st, and we are ready to reveal that this weekend is about much more than just the score on the clock.

We have built a full "Festival of Female Hockey" experience. Alongside the tournament action, we are thrilled to announce a lineup of off-ice workshops, cultural experiences, and showcase events designed to connect and inspire our athletes.
