The Diamond Energy Female Midget Wildcats have a big matchup to kick off the Mac's Midget Tournament in Calgary today, as they'll face the rival Westman Wildcats in the tournament opener this morning (10:00am CST).

Swift Current has been to the Mac's tournament six times, and won it twice in a row in 2008 and 2009.

The Wildcats will also face the Peace Country Storm Saturday afternoon, the St. Albert Slash on Monday morning, and the Northern Cougars to wrap up the round-robin on Tuesday afternoon.

The semi-finals go on New Year's Eve, with the final set for New Year's Day at Calgary's Scotiabank Saddledome.
