Girls Hockey
Hyland Hills Girls Hockey fosters a fun and empowering environment for girls of all ages and skill levels to learn and love hockey. We develop confident athletes through teamwork, sportsmanship, and high-quality coaching, on and off the ice.
“A Girl Who Plays Hockey,” Just Like other Girls but cooler!
We currently offer girls teams for all ages above 8U. We have many girls who play in our 8U program but we do not currently offer all girls teams for those ages. There are however opportunities throughout the season for our 8U girls to participate in all girl events and friendlies with other area associations.
Girls Recreational Division
Hyland Hills Recreational Girls Hockey provides a recreational level of play for ages 10U through 19U. Teams in this program will play in either the Colorado Recreational Hockey League (CRHL) or the Colorado Girls Hockey League (CGHL) which offers an alternative to the intense environment of competitive (RMHF) hockey. Families participating in the Girls recreational program can expect to travel within the state of Colorado but not out of state like the competitive (RMHF) teams.
This program is less of a commitment in terms of time and cost than RMHF. Teams are selected to try and balance the strength of the teams within an age division.
SEASON LENGTH
The recreational program begins in September with team evaluations and placement. The season ends the last weekend in February with CRHL Playoffs.
