Nov 28, 2018 | 10:07 AM

Canadian Women’s Hockey League action is coming to Red Deer.

The Calgary Inferno will take on the Toronto Furies at the Gary W Harris Canada Games Centre on Saturday, December 15 at 7 p.m. as part of 2018 Female Hockey Day.

The day will feature on and off-ice development sessions for players, coaches, and officials of all ages and skill levels to celebrate female hockey.

Player Development sessions are ongoing throughout Female Hockey Day, including on and off-ice instruction for current female players at all levels, from Intro to Hockey (Initiation and Novice) to Midget. Player Development sessions have a registration fee of $15 per participant, which includes a ticket to the Inferno/Furies game. Visit the Hockey Alberta website to learn more.

There will also be Try Hockey sessions offered for both youth and adult females who are looking to play hockey for the first time. Comrie’s Sports Equipment Bank will be on site to outfit all new players with equipment, and to accept donations of new or gently used sports equipment.

A Game Day Speaker Series is being hosted for all coaches involved in female hockey, which includes a seminar, an opportunity to watch the Calgary/Toronto game, and a de-brief after the game.

Female officials are also invited to take part in Female Hockey Day with a free afternoon clinic, that includes classroom and on-ice sessions.

The Experience the Dream contest is a chance for one winner to join the Inferno and Furies on ice during the warm-up and national anthem. Hockey Alberta wants to know who your female role model is (hockey or hockey-related) in a paragraph or short essay, outlining why you look up to them. Please also include a photo or drawing of your female role model. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, December 2.

Tickets for the Inferno/Furies game are also available online.
