FGNHA

Winnipeg Storm

Fort Garry North Hockey Association (FGNHA) and South Winnipeg Hockey Association (SWHA) operate a joint female hockey program under the brand Winnipeg Storm.  Girls thrive in the female program because they are amongst peers with a common purpose – to have fun, develop skills, learn the game and compete.  

​

The Female program fall under Hockey Winnipeg which means our teams play other area associations throughout the city. The Female program is divided first by age and then by skill division.

 

  • U9 (ages 7 & 8) have three skill divisions: A1, A2 & A3;

  • U11 (ages 9 & 10) have three skill divisions: A1, A2 & A3;

  • U13 (ages 11 & 12) introduces AA (Twins program), and then has two skill divisions: A1 & A2;

  • U15 (ages 13 & 14) has AA (Twins program), and then two skill divisions: A1 & A2;

  • U18 (ages 15, 16 & 17) has AA (Twins program) and one skill division: A1

  • For games, do coaches skill match lines?"
    Coaches try their best to match skill but other coaches sometimes either have set lines or may not be interested.
  • What are the different age categories?
  • Coach advice to new families:
    Get involved with the team (coach, manager, safety, etc.) It’s a long season so don’t worry if you miss 1 or 2 games/practices.
