First Shift / Fundamentals (Guelph Girls Hockey Association)

The GGHA along with Hockey Canada recognizes the advantages that exist to having women in coaching and leadership positions and the importance of young players seeing women behind the bench. During the end of the 2023-2024 season, the GGHA partnered with 519SportsOnline to showcase some of the amazing female leaders within the Guelph Girls Hockey community!

In an exhilarating display of skill, determination, and teamwork, U15-1 secured a stunning victory at the 2nd annual Woodstock Wildcats Roar House League Tournament, defeating the Clarington Flames 4-1 in the gold medal game to claim the championship title!

The U15-2 team finished off a successful weekend skating away with the bronze medal at the Owen Sound Northern Lights Lady Classic on Sunday November 22nd. They clinched the bronze medal with a thrilling 5-0 victory over North Simcoe. Congratulations to U15-2!

The GGHA is seeking experienced, motivated, and positive role models who are dedicated to providing female hockey players with an opportunity to participate in physical fitness, enhance their self-esteem and confidence, and develop future leaders. If you believe you have the experience and mindset to help our players achieve their goals, we invite you to apply!

During the 2023-2024 season, the GGHA board of directors collaborated with the International Institute for Sport Business and Leadership (IISBL) at the University of Guelph to help develop a strategic plan for our members. The purpose of the study was to inform the decision-making process of GGHA leadership as we seek to establish a strategic direction that will best serve all members.
