CALGARY — Hockey Canada has identified some of the challenges it faces in reaching its goal of having more than 170,000 girls and women playing hockey in Canada by 2030.
That's up from more than 100,000 women and girls registered by Hockey Canada this year to play in sanctioned hockey programs.
"One day, we hope no girl is kept from participating in hockey because of gender-based barriers," says the discussion paper titled Building the Future of Women's and Girls' Hockey."However, success depends on our ensuring the Canadian hockey system is prepared to continue to support this unprecedented growth.In the 2023-24 hockey season, there were 108,313 women and girls registered as players in Hockey Canada-sanctioned programs, which represented 19.
In May, Hockey Canada announced the formation of a committee chaired by former national team player Gillian Apps,"to oversee a discussion paper that will lead to formal recommendations to guide the organization’s next women’s and girls’ hockey strategic plan." — A lack of guidance from Hockey Canada and its members on how associations should be managing women’s and girls’ hockey,"which has reinforced local attitudes in some areas of the country that the sport does not need to be resourced as appropriately as men’s and boys’ hockey."
