Today, 24 girls came together to learn, play, and fall in love with hockey at the Hockey Alberta x Girl Guides Try Hockey Session!

From first time players to future stars, the energy, excitement, and smiles at the rink reminded us why creating opportunities for girls in sport matters so much.

A huge thank you to our volunteers, coaches, partners who helped make this event possible. Seeing so many girls connect, build confidence, and have fun through hockey was truly special.

The future of the game is bright. 💙💛
