Hockey fans will be out in full force as the Prairie Toyota Clarkson Cup tour visits Yorkton, SK. The tour features Canadian Women’s Hockey League stars, Olympic gold medallists and Amazing Race fan favourites, Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson.
Also there for fans to see is the Clarkson Cup trophy and the tour’s highlight: a 26’ x 20’ mobile synthetic ice rink where kids can test their skills along with two of the best hockey players in Canada.
The tour is proudly presented by the Prairie Toyota Dealers, the Official Automotive Sponsor of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. Over the course of 8 weeks the event will hit 26 markets across the Prairies. Full tour dates and times at PrairieToyota.ca

“As a CWHL player and a native of Saskatchewan, I am so excited to be a part of this event,” said Meaghan Mikkelson, Calgary Inferno forward and Olympic gold medallist. “For Nat and me to tour the Prairies talking to young fans about their goals and dreams is such a big part of our vision at the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. We know that this event will inspire young people and build new fans of women’s hockey – we couldn’t do this without the Prairie Toyota Dealers’ incredible support.”
