The 2008/09 season was the second season of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL), the highest Canadian division in women's ice hockey in the provinces of Ontario and Québec . The Stars de Montréal won the championship title in the CWHL and also secured the Clarkson Cup , which was awarded for the first time, in the final tournament - with another CWHL and two WWHL participants .
Attendees
Only six teams from the provinces of Ontario and Québec took part in the second edition of the CWHL , as the Phénix de Québec had stopped playing after the preseason. Due to the small number of teams in eastern Canada, the league was played in a relay.
The Ottawa Capital Canucks merged with the Kanata Girls Hockey Association before the 2008/09 season , won the NHL franchise of the Ottawa Senators as a sponsor and renamed themselves based on this in Ottawa Lady Senators .
