Madison, WI, December 13, 2007 - The Western Collegiate Hockey Association is pleased to announce that its annual women’s playoff championship has been re-named the ‘WCHA FINAL FACE-OFF’, WCHA Associate Commissioner Sara R. Martin said today.
In making the announcement of the name change Martin said the league will also have a new logo for the tournament and thanked the University of Minnesota Sport Business Institute for its work in developing the concept and new logo for the championships.
