RE: Hosting Girls Hockey Festival
____________________________________________________________________________________
Hockey NL Female Executive Council is requesting proposals from associations to host this year’s Girls
Hockey Festival.

The Girls Hockey Festival is modelled after the Global Girls Game and is open to all U11 Girls registered
in girls hockey within their association. This event will consist of on-ice hockey skill sessions over two
days, as well as different and exciting off-ice activities that will be determined by the host association.

The Girls Hockey Festival will take place over a weekend of the host associations choice, starting on
Saturday and concluding on Sunday morning with a Blue vs. Red game.
This event will be free of charge to the 34 girls selected from all regions of the province (some travel
assistance may be available for players in remote areas). Hockey NL will be covering the cost of the ice
time for the host association and there will also be some funding available for food, and events upon
request.

U11 Girls from across the island will have the opportunity to submit an entry to be considered for this
event. The application will include basic information about the player, and they will be required to submit
a short essay explaining why they love girls’ hockey. Based on these submissions, Hockey NL Female
Executive Council will select 34 girls to participate in this event. Applications for players will be sent to
associations once a host site has been determined.

If your association is interested in submitting an application to host this event, please complete the
attached hosting request form and return to your Female Council Area Member by October 31st, 2024.
