Celebrating National Girls & Women in Sports Day

Hockey NWT proudly recognizes National Girls & Women in Sports Day, a moment to celebrate the incredible contributions of women coaches, athletes, officials, and administrators at both the territorial and national levels. This day highlights the progress we’ve made in promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion within our sports community.

We are thrilled to see the support for our initiatives, which include the use of gender pronouns and efforts to create a more equitable environment for all. Our commitment to fostering inclusivity is evident through events like the Girls Training Weekend, which empowers young female athletes to pursue their passion for sports.

From young girls just starting their journey to women participating in major events like the Arctic Winter Games and Canada Winter Games, we are proud to witness their growth and achievements. As we celebrate this day, we look forward to continuing our work towards greater equity and inclusion in the future, ensuring that all women and girls have the opportunity to thrive in sports.

Together, let’s keep pushing for progress and support the next generation of female athletes!
