The 1998 All-Star Game of the Central Ontario Women's Hockey League will be held on Monday, March 9th at Icelands in Mississauga. This game is being hosted by the Mississauga Chiefs of the COWHL. Game time is 8:15pm, and the game will be held at Rink #1. Admission is only 4$ (MGHL House League Fans - 2$ at door & 2$ to watch) and includes a draw ticket.
The North York Aeros, Ontario's 1998 Senior "AAA" champions, will meet an all-star team made up of players from the other teams in the Central Ontario Women's Hockey League. Senior "AAA" is the highest division in the Ontario Women's Hockey Association, and the highest calibre of play in the world. (It is from this level that players are chosen for Canada's National Team.) This year, the Central Ontario Women's Hockey League is made up of the Mississauga Chiefs, North York Aeros, and Scarborough Sting.
The League All-Star Game is an annual showcase of the best female hockey talent in Ontario. It is a demonstration of the female game played at its highest calibre: clean, fast, skillful hockey in which body contact is permitted but intentional body-checking is not allowed.
North York Aeros will represent Ontario at the 1998 Esso Canadian National Championship in Calgary, Alberta, March 19th to 22nd. Proceeds from the All-Star Game will help to defray their travel costs for that event.
The March 9th game will be an ideal opportunity for hockey fans to get to know the stars and future stars of this very popular spectator sport.
Background information about the league and the players in the March 9 game is available upon request.
