ASSOCIATION SPONSORSHIP REQUEST

Hockey is a source of national pride in Canada. Women’s hockey is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, exciting, skills-based and a maker of future female leaders. Now for the first time Vancouver Island has its own all-female association with infrastructure to support the development and retention of girls in hockey.

With boundaries spanning the Capital Regional District (CRD), CRFMHA will provide opportunities for girls ages 5-20 to learn the game of hockey, develop new skills, become leaders and offer mentorship opportunities. This is your opportunity to get in on this thrilling development, as women’s hockey gains momentum and is making history.

The all-female minor hockey association (MHA) model is used throughout Canada, and on the lower mainland of BC it has fostered 52% 10-year growth in registration. With recent approval by the appropriate governing bodies (BC Hockey and VIAHA), CRFMHA becomes the first all-female MHA on Vancouver Island. The goal is to reverse slumping enrolments from previous years related to attrition of girls to programs designed for boys. CRFMHA will expand the league to be a vibrant, thriving part of island life. Programming begins in September 2019 and the Association is gathering necessary funds to support various fundamental activities, including:

• ●  Ice contracts for games, practices and development sessions

• ●  Strength and conditioning training

• ●  Team uniforms and other equipment

• ●  Officials (referees) for games

• ●  Insurance costs for participants and volunteers

  Please consider sponsoring this important NEW venture. You can be part of creating an enduring organization that will promote and deliver female youth hockey in CRD. There are lots of ways to help!
