The Alberta players discussing strategy

The Calgary Inferno (previously known as Team Alberta, nickname "Honeybadgers", during the 2011–12 season) was a women's ice hockey team that joined the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) for the 2011–12 season. The team played its home games at Joan Snyder Rink (Arena B) at WinSport Canada in Calgary, Alberta.[1] After two seasons without an official name, in 2013 the team picked a moniker drawing from Calgary's National Hockey League franchise, the Calgary Flames,[2] with whom they had a partnership.[3] For the 2013-14 season, it was announced that all Inferno home-games would be streamed live by PCSN.tv.[4]

In 2019, the CWHL ceased operations, as well as all teams that it directly operated – including the Inferno.[5]
