Welcoming back our returning players and welcoming all new players for the 2026 season!
Who can join the league?
This is a not-for-profit league welcoming female-identified individuals aged 45+ or older who did not play organised hockey growing up.
Exceptions can be made for those 40-45 that meet the skill level if we need to fill up the teams.
There will be 6 teams this year. 2026 is our fifth year of operation.

What was the reason for starting this league?
Women’s leagues in the city have shuttered since Covid (Newtonbrook Women’s League, Hockey Extreme Fall women’s league, Ladybugs, Pickering Women’s Hockey League, etc.) and younger players have started joining the remaining rec leagues in the city. While we fully recognise that younger women have the right to play hockey, we do not have the skill or fortitude to keep up with them. This league is for women who realise that they are not as fast anymore but still want to enjoy the game.
