The 2024 IIHF World Girls' Hockey Weekend is set for October 11-13, 2024! Join USA Hockey and hockey communities around the world to celebrate girls hockey.
Started by the International Ice Hockey Federation in 2011, World Girls' Hockey Weekend provides an opportunity for girls around the world to try the sport of hockey and celebrate all who make the game great.
Associations, clubs, and rinks around the country can register their Girls Growth Initiative to earn credit towards the USA Hockey Hat Trick Growth Challenge and be eligible for giveaways!
Looking for an event to attend? Contact your local youth hockey association or email comeplayouthhockey@usahockey.org for a list of Girls Hockey events!
Show your girls hockey pride throughout the weekend on social media using #GirlsHockey and #WGIHW.
Below are some ideas for posts to get you started!
Remember to tag @usahockey on your posts for the opportunity to be featured on our channels!
Host a pizza party, street hockey game or watch a women's hockey game with all the girls in your program. It's a great way to show your appreciation for your girls hockey players and gives them an opportunity to bond with other female players.
Host an opportunity for local girls to try youth hockey for the first time. Associations can encourage current players to bring a friend to the rink to try hockey for the first time. To have your Try Hockey event counted for GHW or the Hattrick Growth Challenge, be sure to register as a Try Hockey host site with USA Hockey.
Host an association "Bring a friend to skate" day/night at the rink. Ask your current membership to bring girls to an open skate day and be sure capture the event on social media!
