Important Clarifications
These games are the TCHL League Championships. They are
separate and distinct from our internal WMHA Championships, which determine the teams advancing to the ALLIANCE Championships at the major age divisions.
The structure, advancement process, and purpose of these events are different. In addition, the format and structure of these games will follow existing TCHL rules.
