Clarkson Cup ‘will always be there,’ former governor-general says as CWHL folds Globe_Sports
The Clarkson Cup will continue to reward women’s hockey champions in Canada regardless of a league’s uncertain future, former governor-general Adrienne Clarkson says.
“I have [the] utmost respect for people like Jayna, who is a four-time Olympian herself, that they care about the game and they care about it being played properly and well, and that’s what we hang our hopes on really,” the former governor-general said.A week after Clarkson handed her namesake trophy to the victorious Calgary Inferno, the CWHL announced it will cease operations on May 1 because “the business model has proven to be economically unstable.
The CWHL was a seven-team league with a budget of $3.7-million in her final season at the helm in 2017-18. The NHL has been supportive of women’s hockey on multiple fronts, but seemed reluctant to flex its power as a possible league owner with two leagues operating.
