World Girls' Ice Hockey Weekend
COMING TOGETHER FOR WOMEN’S HOCKEY
From Oct. 8-9, 2022, the International Ice Hockey Federation will lead the way on the 11th annual World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend, with dozens of federations around the world taking part.

It aims to celebrate and grow the game while uniting Canadians through grassroots programming led by girls hockey associations, minor hockey associations and communities.
Until Sept. 30, hosts can register their event HERE. Hockey Canada will supply gifts to approved events on a first come, first approved basis.
