After a pandemic-induced break, the World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend is back for this weekend.
Although the situation with Covid-19 unfortunately still prevents ice hockey from happening in many countries, thousands of women and girls are expected to participate in events in at least 25 countries as part of the global initiative that started ten years ago.
The World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend is a global opportunity for girls and women to try out ice hockey as a new sport. It is a chance for girls and women of any age to come together to learn the basics of ice hockey, play our fantastic sport and just have fun together and make new friends in a team sport.
Events can be organized by national and regional ice hockey associations, leagues, club teams or any group that wants to come together to support the growth of women’s hockey and spreading the word.
