TRI-STATE GIRLS’ T-4 HOCKEY LEAGUE ANNOUNCES FORMATION AND UPCOMING INAUGURAL SEASON
GORHAM, ME – AUGUST 9, 2026 — The Tri-State Girls’ T-4 Hockey League is officially announcing the upcoming youth hockey season, driving a powerful mission to empower the next generation of female athletes through sport. The State youth hockey organizations of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont have formed a coalition and are looking to offer an unparalleled environment for players to build confidence, sharpen their skills, and compete at a balanced level.
The league is designed to expand the playing pool of the individual State leagues, while limiting the excessive travel of higher tier leagues. Through collaboration, it is anticipated that over the course of the season teams will play several jamboree weekends in various areas. Additionally, teams foresee playing neutral site games, supporting organizations with limited female players through flexibility, and utilizing 12u/14u combination teams to broaden opportunities.
The league exclusively features the 14U division for this upcoming season but hopes to expand in the future to include younger ages. The season runs from October through March, culminating in a parity-based end of season tournament.
The league is looking for collegiate-level girls' programs willing to host games and/or provide access to tickets for league teams to attend collegiate games. This integration will offer our players unique opportunities to experience higher levels of competition and connect with the broader female hockey community.
About the League:
Founded with the mission to grow the female hockey culture, the Tri-State Girls' T-4 Hockey League aims to provide access to comparable competition and promote continuing participation in youth hockey. We emphasize sportsmanship, leadership, and athletic development for young women across the region.
