The Female Hockey Resource aims to be the SINGLE SOURCE of information for Girls and Women interested in participating in or progressing through all levels of Hockey to play professionally. WE ARE BUILDING THE WEBSITE CURRENTLY, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN AND FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK.
Building the Future of Women’s Hockey Together
Welcome to a community where every woman and girl belongs, regardless of experience or skill level.
Hockey isn’t just a sport—it’s a journey of self-discovery, strength, and joy waiting for you. More
importantly, it’s a movement to create the equitable future that women’s and girls’ hockey deserve.
Your Story Starts Here
Maybe you’ve watched from the sidelines. Maybe you’ve dreamed about skating but thought I was not
athletic enough, or I started too late. Maybe you’re a mother who wants to support your daughter but
feels intimidated by a sport you never played. Here’s the truth: there’s no such thing as too late, slow, or inexperienced. Women’s hockey is for everyone—yes, especially you.
Why This Matters
Every time a girl steps onto the ice or a woman cheers from the stands, we build momentum toward a
future where women’s hockey receives the recognition, funding, and support it deserves. Our vision is
clear: to create a sport that fully supports its players provides professional opportunities, and offers the
same amenities and resources men’s hockey enjoy.
Why Hockey?
Beyond the exhilarating rush of gliding across the ice, hockey offers gifts that last a lifetime:
Confidence That Carries Forward
Every time you step onto the ice, you build more than muscle—you build belief in yourself. That
confidence flows into every area of your life, from the boardroom to the classroom.
A Community That Lifts You Up
Join a sisterhood of support where everyone celebrates your victories, big and small. Here, experienced
players become mentors, teammates become lifelong friends, and everyone cheers for your growth.
Strength in All Forms
Discover physical strength you never knew you had, emotional resilience that surprises you, and mental
toughness that serves you on and off the ice. Hockey teaches you that you’re capable of more than you
imagined.
Joy in the Journey
Remember the pure joy of learning something new? Of improving week after week? Of celebrating with
teammates? That’s hockey. Whether scoring your first goal or mastering your first stop, every
milestone brings a rush of achievement.

Real Stories, Real Transformation
1. Sarah, Age 42, Mother of Three:
I spent years watching my kids play sports, always on the sidelines. Starting hockey at 40 seemed crazy,
but it awakened something in me I thought I’d lost. Now my kids come to my games. When my daughter
says & Mom, you’re so brave. I know this journey was about more than just hockey.
2. Maya, Age 15:
I was always the quiet kid, struggling with anxiety. On the ice, I found my voice. There’s something
about having teammates who believe in you that makes you believe in yourself. Now, I’m helping
younger girls learn to skate. Being someone’s role model? That’s bigger than any goal I’ve scored.uot;
3. Jennifer, Age 55:
After my divorce, I felt invisible. Hockey gave me back my power. The first time I stepped on the ice, I
was terrified. Now? I play twice a week, have a fantastic circle of friends, and finally understand what it
means to feel truly strong. Age is just a number on the ice.
