The champions of the 2015 Whitehorse women’s hockey league will be crowned tomorrow night.

The H&R Block Shamrockers (green) are awaiting their opponent for Friday’s championship game, scheduled for 6 p.m. on the Canada Games Centre’s Northwestel ice.

The Shamrockers (30-14-4) won the regular season title by just one point over the Burnt Toast Fireballs (30-15-3).

The team is led by top scorer Danielle Hodgson (62G, 19A) and the league’s top goalie Krystal Feres (2.50 GAA).

The team has already beaten North Star Mini Storage and Burnt Toast to earn their place in the final.

The Fireballs (black) will face off with Hvachtech Systems (blue) in the semifinal game tonight to determine which team gets a final crack at H&R Block.

Hvachtech beat Thomas Electric (gold) 9-5 last night to keep their season alive.

Led by Linsey Keaton (46G, 38A), Hvachtech finished third in the regular season with a 24-19-4 record.

Amy Vermeulen of the cellar-dwelling Thomas Electric team won the league scoring title with 62 goals and 26 assists in just 35 games.

The Whitehorse Women’s Hockey Association saw seven teams hit the ice this season.

Last year, North Star Mini Storage Grey Matter beat the White Storm 2-1 to win the league championship.
