A berth in the Esso Cup midget female hockey national championship is at stake and the first team to get to two wins will lock that spot up.
For the first time in the city's sporting history, Prince George is playing host to the best-of-three Pacific Cup series.
It all begins today at 4:45 at Rolling Mix Concrete Arena for the B.C. champion Northern Capitals and their Alberta opponents, the Rocky Mountain Raiders of Cochrane, Alta.
The Capitals wrapped up their second consecutive provincial title two weekends ago in Coquitlam, where they swept the Greater Vancouver Comets 4-2 and 1-0 in the best-of-three series.
The Raiders won their right to play for the Pacific title last weekend in Grande Prairie, where they defeated the Calgary Fire 2-1 in the championship tournament final.
Game 2 of the series is set for Saturday at 5 p.m. at Rolling Mix Concrete Arena (formerly known as the Prince George Coliseum). If a third game is needed, it will be played at RMCA Sunday at 10 a.m.
