Canadian women’s hockey team to play men’s Junior A opponents in Alberta
The Canadian women’s hockey team will play Alberta Junior A men’s teams as part of its preparation for February’s Winter Olympics.
And who/what are the Alberta Junior A Men’s…
- The Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) is an Alberta-based Junior A ice hockey league that belongs to the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL).
These are teenaged boys Canada’s woman’s hockey team will be playing against.
How have they done in the past?
Canada lost 8-3 to the BCHL’s Cranbrook Bucks and 5-1 to the Trail Smoke Eaters in its first games since winning the women’s world hockey championship Aug. 31.
Ouch!
The women are accustomed to a regular slate of games against male triple-A clubs as part of their Olympic prep, but games against Junior A teams were previously more rare.
So who will they play and when?
Canada will play road games against the AJHL’s Drumheller Dragons on Oct. 18, the Olds Grizzlies on Oct. 29, and Camrose Kodiaks on Nov. 3 before facing the Calgary Canucks in Calgary on Jan. 10.
I have no idea if the woman’s hockey team will be having any friendlies verse other female national teams before the olympics.

Canadian women’s hockey team falls 2-0 to AJHL’s Camrose Kodiaks
Twenty-nine women have been centralized in Calgary since July to both try out for the women’s Olympic team and prepare for February’s Winter Games in Beijing.
Canada won a women’s world championship for the first time since 2012 on Aug. 31 when the Canadians edged the Americans 3-2 in overtime in Calgary.
Ok, so have have done good against fellow female hockey teams.
The women have made games against male Junior A clubs part of their Olympic preparation.
They’ve gone 0-5 against BCHL and AJHL clubs with one more scheduled game remaining against the Calgary Canucks on Jan. 10.
So against teenagers, the best woman’s hockey players in the world, world champions, they are 0-5 this year.
