The NGHL is dedicated to the promotion and growth of girls' ice hockey programs across the nation and supports our clubs' vision for player-focused development and progression to the next level.
Our offerings comprise league play, showcases, and exposure clinics, and have teams competing at the 10U through 19U levels at Tier I and Tier II. All NGHL events are USAH-sanctioned.
The NGHL schedule is built with purpose—designed to create an organized, high-energy, and inclusive environment where girls’ hockey programs can thrive while contending in competitive league play and showcases. Hosted in college-rich areas that champion women’s hockey, each event puts players in front of the coaches who matter most, turning every shift into an opportunity for exposure.
The NGHL delivers more than just games—it creates a full-season experience that fuels growth, competition, and opportunity at every level. With a structured league format and competitive games, players aren’t just playing—they’re developing, gaining exposure, and building confidence all season long. From Top Performer honors and College Commitment spotlights to Senior Recognition and powerful exposure tools, every detail is designed to elevate the team and player experience. Add in flexible scheduling and dedicated league support, and the NGHL stands out as a league built to move every player forward—not just the top tier, but anyone ready to take the next step.
We prioritize strong relationships with teams, coaches, and families—providing a more personalized and supportive experience from the start of registration to the drop of the puck.
