The Female Initiation Program formed last year offers girls who are new to hockey the opportunity to learn to skate and also be taught specific drills and skills. The Hockey Canada Initiation Program is followed and the coaches are certified in the IP Program.

Under 12, Under 15 and Under 20 Divisions all participate in the Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Tournaments held two weeks prior to Easter each year.

This year, a team from Newfoundland and Labrador, will attend the Female Midget Atlantic Championship in New Brunswick, March 27 to March 30, 2008. Regional teams, which will be chosen from zone try-outs, will compete in a Provincial Tournament in January and the winner will advance to the Midget Atlantics. Further information will be available on the HNL web site after September 15th.

For further information concerning female hockey please contact your local association.
