The Eastern Shores Conference is one of three WIAA girl's hockey conferences in Wisconsin and the only one to play a conference tournament at the end of the season. The conference teams play each conference opponent once during the regular season in a conference game (they could meet in another tournament, but that doesn't count as a conference game).

On Thursday, February 1st, University School of Milwaukee played the Bay Area Ice Bears winning 4-3 to advance to the tournament championship game. The Warbirds defeated the Lakeshore Lightning 4-1 to advance to the championship game.

The Warbirds were accessed a hooking penalty at 3:22 of the first period. The Wildcats took advantage of the situation, when Charlotte Fetherston scored a power play goal at 4:04 with London Chase assisting to give USM a 1-0 lead. Coincidental minors were accessed to each team at 15:31 of the first. The Wildcats led 1-0 at the end of the period.

The Warbirds picked up their third penalty of the game at 8:07 of the second. This was a checking penalty. The Warbirds killed off the penalty to keep it a one goal game. USM was accessed a hooking penalty at 11:20 of the period, but were able to keep the Warbirds from scoring. The second period ended with University School still leading 1-0.

The Warbirds tied the game on an even strength goal by Chloe Tobin with Abby Waara being credited with the assist at 1:11 of the third. This was the only goal of the period and the game ended tied at 1 at the end of regulation.

The first overtime found the Warbirds being accessed a minor penalty for interference at 5:41. The Warbirds picked up another penalty with 8 seconds remaining on the earlier penalty at 7:33 for checking. The Warbirds killed off both of the penalties to keep the game tied.
