NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN'S HOCKEY LEAGUE
The NCWHL (Northern California Women’s Hockey League) was founded in 1993 as a non-checking, recreational league to promote women’s ice hockey in the San Francisco Bay Area and provide a place where members could skate and compete in a fun and supportive environment.
What started out as 3 teams total has grown to more than 25 teams spread over 4 defined skill levels from beginner to advanced.
Our community embraces women, trans, nonbinary and gender-expansive athletes from many walks of life and all levels of hockey experience.
GET IN THE GAME:
NCWHL welcomes skaters and goalies of all levels and abilities. We have a coaching staff dedicated to teaching and encouraging beginner players, even those who have little to no skating experience. We also have a system in place to evaluate player skill levels to place you in the appropriate division. Joining NCWHL is easy!
