In a healthy attempt to grow girls’ and women’s hockey, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) has created the World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend October 13-14. IIHF is the worldwide governing body for ice hockey.
World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend offers an opportunity for girls of all ages to try ice hockey. It is IIHF’s hockey that girls will be introduced to basic skills in hockey in a positive, fun and safe environment; learn about opportunities in ice hockey in their community; learn about fair play, sportsmanship, and teamwork; and meet new friends and have a chance to fall in love with a new sport.
National Federations, leagues, clubs, teams and any group who has a passion for sharing hockey with the next generation of female hockey players are eligible to register to host. Programs participating in the events are the Lone Star Wolves and Northeastern Athletics.
