NoVA Girls Ice Hockey Pickup League
Administered by Haymarket Iceplex in Haymarket, VA, we are dedicated to fostering the sport of ice hockey among girls 6th thru 9th grades (and hopefully even thru 12th grade). Join a community where every player's potential is celebrated regardless of skill or experience level. Wondering what the games are like? Watch a few of our prior games on YouTube!
​
This league started summer of 2026 and will be offered every year during the Spring and Summer seasons! Players can join purchasing a group of games (sessions) or drop-ins only. Whether drop-in or prepay, registration required.
​
For those players who desire it, we also do offer a peer support program where a volunteer experienced player gets paired with an inexperienced player for those who desire such support. After all, it is a bit intimidating to walk into a locker room without knowing anybody.
​
** Please note that this league is not part of the Girls Piedmont Predators Hockey Club also based at Haymarket Iceplex. Click for more info on Girls Travel Teams.
August 2026 pickup games are available for dropins only now.
​
WE ARE ACCEPTING NEW REGISTRATIONS FOR THE 2027 SEASON!!!

Keep in mind that ONLY prepaid players are guaranteed to play each game (and at a discounted rate) which are capped at 30 players max. Dropins are allowed only to fill any vacant spots.

Our Mission
Our mission is to grow and retain girls in ice hockey by removing the barriers that often lead players to leave the sport in their early teens. We provide an all-girls team environment for those who prefer not to play on coed teams, offering a competitive experience without full-contact checking—one that emphasizes development, confidence, and enjoyment. Unlike traditional all-girls club programs that primarily serve elite AA players, we are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for girls of ALL skill levels to continue playing, improving, and thriving in the sport.
