The launch of the Saskatchewan Senior Women’s Hockey League is a landmark moment for female hockey in the province.

For too long, talented players who age out of college programs or the U22 junior league have faced limited options to continue competing at a high level.

This league finally provides a pathway for those athletes to stay in the game they love, maintain their skills, and inspire younger players.

Beyond benefiting athletes, the league promises real advantages for small-town communities. Local arenas will see increased use, generating revenue and fostering community pride.

Families and neighbors will have new opportunities to come together around women’s hockey, creating a stronger sense of connection and support.

This league is more than just another season of hockey—it’s a statement that female athletes deserve visibility, investment, and recognition at every stage of their careers.

Saskatchewan is taking a bold step, and the impact will be felt both on the ice and in communities across the province.
