MONTREAL —

It’s an all-Canadian clash for the Professional Women’s Hockey League’s championship trophy.

The Montreal Victoire host the Ottawa Charge at Place Bell in Thursday’s opener of the best-of-five Walter Cup series.

The Charge reached the final a second straight year. Ottawa bowed out to the Minnesota Frost last season in four games that all went to overtime.
