The Guelph Gryphons women’s hockey team will host the Ottawa Gee-Gees for the provincial championship game on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in Guelph, Ontario. This final match for the McCaw Cup is the result of a strong playoff run for the local team as they compete for the title on home ice.
Winning the championship is a top goal for the university because it names the winning team as the best in the province. This victory also acts as the primary way for a team to qualify for the national university championships that take place later in March.
The Guelph team has a long history of success in this competition, having won the provincial trophy seven times in the past. This weekend, the University of Guelph Department of Athletics is managing the event, which is expected to draw significant support from the local community and student body.
The Gryphons hope to use their home-ice advantage to secure another provincial title for their program. The championship game marks the end of the university hockey season in Ontario and showcases the top talent from across the region.
