March 8 – On International Women’s Day Hockey Alberta is committed to growing the game by creating more opportunities, strengthening pathways, and supporting girls and women at every stage as players, coaches, officials, and leaders.
We believe the future of hockey is inclusive, and we are proud to work alongside our Members, Minor Hockey Associations, teams, volunteers, and families across Alberta who are helping make that future a reality.
Not only is the game growing, but so is the leadership behind it. Women now make up 41% of Hockey Alberta’s staff, and the Hockey Alberta Board is proudly comprised of 50% women, a powerful reflection of the progress and representation shaping the future of the game.
“The rise in female representation across our sport is creating a stronger, more inclusive hockey system. When women are involved in every layer, from the ice to the boardroom, we build an environment where every player can see themselves reflected, supported, and empowered to succeed,” said Kendall Newell, Senior Manager of Competition at Hockey Alberta.
Thank you to everyone across the province who continues to champion opportunities for women and girls in hockey and inspire the next generation. Follow along this week as we celebrate International Women’s Day by highlighting some of the players, coaches, officials, and leaders helping grow the female game across Alberta.
We’ll be sharing feature stories, team spotlights, and a few exciting announcements you won’t want to miss.
