For the Love of Women’s Hockey

The NCWHL was able to participate this year in a special hockey event featuring a tilt between the US Women’s National Team and their arch rivals from up north. As exciting as the game was, it was equally fun to see all of the familiar faces from our League in attendance. Everyone was thrilled to have women’s hockey right in our backyard!

We held a recruiting event at the game to reach out to the prospective skaters and the response was overwhelmingly positive. League members came by in NCWHL jerseys to support the cause. We passed out fliers and got the word out about Give Hockey a Try Day. We hope to see some of that interest translate into more participants at GHATD and League registrations next season.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who came out and spent time with us at this recruiting event. Without you, none of this could have been possible!

NCWHL Scrimmage at SAP Center for Volunteers

To thank the NCWHL, Katie Holmgren/USA Hockey organized a scrimmage at SAP Center in San Jose. We invited all of our dedicated League volunteers, captains and coaches for this special one-time event.

Upon arrival, we found 50+ girls in hockey gear running around in the lobby reminding us that our work promoting women’s hockey in the Bay Area has gone a long way! It was a great kickoff to the next day’s exciting game between the USA and Canadian women’s national teams. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers! Without your help, the NCWHL wouldn’t be where we are today.
