People claim that anyone can play, coach, or be a fan of hockey, but the truth is, there’s often a large gap between that statement and what actually goes on at the rink. Not everyone feels welcome, seen, heard, or a part of hockey.
At Women’s Hockey Life, our mission is to empower women and girls in hockey—ALL women and girls.
The hockey community is made up of people of all genders, races, sexualities, ages, and abilities and we want to make sure that you know what you’ve been told are your differences, are what make you a crucial part of our incredible and diverse hockey community.
We are dedicated to ensuring that all girls and women feel included, safe, and free to be who they are at the rink, and beyond. We’ve created Diversity at the Rink, an ongoing campaign that will inform, highlight, and represent everyone in the hockey community.

WHAT TO EXPECT
We will be featuring different aspects of the diversity within our hockey community, as well as featuring the people who make up our community through:
