Give the Gift of Girls’ Ice Hockey
Fifteen years ago WWFHA pledged to grow girls’ hockey in the northwest and give young female athletes the opportunity to learn to skate and play.
As we celebrate our 15th anniversary this year we are even more committed to making ice hockey at every level accessible to females in the community, regardless of their family’s economic means.

Help us fund the four core areas that will benefit from your patronage:

PNAHA Washington State Female Development Camp Slated for January 20-21, 2018
All Washington female hockey players born in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 are eligible to attend the PNAHA Washington State Female Development Camp at the Xfinity Community Rink in Everett, January 20-21, 2018.
WWFHA highly encourages all of-age Washington Wild players to participate, and all other players to watch the event so they can see the top players in the state skate together. Do not miss this once-a-year opportunity to be evaluated, and possibly be chosen to attend the USA Hockey Multi-District Camp in Colorado Springs, CO in June 9-13, 2018 -- a precursor to the USA Hockey National Camp.
Players improve and test their skills at the camp by playing with and against other female players from all over WA State in ADM skill sessions and scrimmages. Additional ice time, exposure to a broad pool of players and coaches, and the opportunity to compete at a higher level aid in players’ growth and development. Whether or not a player moves on to subsequent USA Hockey camps, she will gain from this unique, fun and challenging hockey experience. Last year, eight Wild players were selected from the WA state camp to attend the Pacific District camp!
For more information, registration and the complete schedule visit the PNAHA website at: PNAHA Girls/Women's Hockey
Find a list of frequently asked questions and their answers at the bottom of page.
For specific questions, email Cindy Dayley, PNAHA Girls’/Women’s Director
