The time has come to crown an Atlantic Region champion on the Road to the 2024 Esso Cup in Vernon, B.C. The Northern Selects are back again, looking to represent the East Coast for the third year in a row.

As was the case in 2023, the Selects are the only team in the field who has previously competed at the Women’s U18 National Club Championship, making semifinal appearances in each of the last two years.

There are plenty of familiar faces in Corner Brook; four of the five teams (Eastern, Northern, Tri-Pen and Western Flames) were on the ice at the 2023 Atlantic tournament in Membertou, Nova Scotia.
