The St. Louis Blues Girls Hockey Development League presented by Bauer is designed to provide low-cost opportunities for girls of all ages to begin their youth hockey playing career and develop skills at a faster rate. This program also gives families and players consistency in their schedule in a competitive and fun environment as they fall in love with the sport.

Not only is hockey a great sport from a physical standpoint, it also builds confidence and teaches life lessons. Studies have shown that girls who play team sports perform better in school, spend less time on social media, have stronger relationships with their peers, have supportive friends and are more likely to describe themselves as confident.

Through the St. Louis Blues Girls Hockey Development League, a female-led community will grow to support girls in the St. Louis and surrounding areas. The league will impact women of all ages with opportunities to develop female referees and all female coaching clinics.
