Geocache Description:

One of joys of adult recreational hockey, aside from the really prime ice times, is watching your team morph into a flock of geocachers, and watching your close friends struggle while tackling tough hides together. The Nighthawkey Cache Series will introduce you to some of our favorite arenas in the city. While you’re in the area, listen closely! Legend tells that between 10pm and 12am, you may here the distant cry of a Nighthawk struggling to get her hockey bag back in the car.


Welcome to Winsport, home of The Calgary Inferno!!! Exactly 10 years after the Calgary hosted the winter Olympics here, Women’s hockey made it’s Olympic debut in Nagano, Japan. If this were a movie, right about now we'd cut to a young RachOfMotion’s bedroom, circa 1998. The scene would show a wall dedicated to newspaper clippings related to the event, with photos of Hayley Wickenheiser, Danielle Goyette and Jennifer Botteril. Growing up, these women were our idols. These days, little girls wake up for 6am practice dreaming of becoming the next Breanne Jenner, Natalie Spooner, Meaghan Mikkelson, or Rebecca Johnston. Regardless, we’d like to dedicate this cache to the women of Canada’s national team- past, present, and future.

GMMK Field Notes: I allowed ROM to choose the hiding spot for this cache & sadly, she picked the most offensive, prickly spruce tree of the batch. Good luck with that.

Cache contains Canadian themed tradeables, and a pass to the Canada Sports Hall of Fame. An active (but new) Canadian Geocoin has been placed in this cache to be picked up & moved along.
