Our Programs

Every program is a door into the game.

From financial support to mentorship to gear access, we remove the barriers that keep girls from playing — and build the community that keeps them in the game.

01 / Scholarships

Recognizing talent. Rewarding dedication.

Supporting the next generation of players through financial awards and recognition. From Rising Star scholarships for ages 10–14 to Trailblazer scholarships for ages 15–19 named after hockey legends.

02 / Grants

Removing financial barriers to participation.

WCHC grants help cover essential hockey-related expenses including registration fees, equipment, and travel support so more girls and young women of colour can access and stay in the game.

03 / Mentorship

Long-term relationships with mentors who've walked the path.

Our mentorship program connects young players with women who've navigated similar challenges. It's about guidance, community, and knowing someone's in your corner.

04 / Sophie's Sisters

Where mentorship meets game day magic.

Sophie's Sisters is a special WCHC mentorship experience that brings girls of colour together for community, representation, and an unforgettable day centered around professional women's hockey.

05 / Community Events

Meet-ups, road trips, and moments that build the movement.

Since 2022, WCHC has hosted 16 community meet-ups across Toronto, Vancouver, Brampton, Edmonton, and beyond — plus road trips to Ottawa/Montréal (16 girls) and Detroit (14 girls), and a moment we'll never forget: flying three players from the Kenya Ice Lions to join camp. Every gathering is about more than hockey. It's about belonging.
