From October 7-8, 2023, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) will lead the way on the 12th annual World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend, with dozens of federations around the world taking part.

Since 2011, the IIHF has united countries around the globe for World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend. Over the years, thousands of people have taken part and the celebration continues to grow.

The goal of World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend is to have events from coast to coast to coast that engage players, coaches, officials, and fans – old and new. It aims to celebrate and grow the game while uniting Canadians through grassroots programming led by girls hockey associations, minor hockey associations, and communities.
