It’s Her Time for Hockey!

We offer three (3) girls-only recreational programs, designed to create a fun and supportive space for girls to play, grow, and thrive on the ice. Explore the steps below to find the perfect Junior Rangers program for her hockey journey!

Step 1: Girls Try Hockey For Free

Girls Try Hockey for Free is designed for girls with little or no prior skating experience, open for ages 5-12. These FREE 1-day sessions will take place at our community rink partners in the tri-state area, on select dates leading up to the start of our Junior Rangers Girls Hockey season at each rink. These clinics are run by our Rangers Hockey Development team, and will feature professional female hockey players to teach girls the basics of hockey! These sessions include free rental skates and loaner equipment, and a post-skate meet & greet with our talent onsite. Each clinic is limited to 65 participants and spots are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Participants will also be able to register for our All-Girls Learn to Play or Girls Hockey League programs on site!

Step 2: Girls Learn to Play

Getting started in hockey has never been easier or more convenient! These introductory programs help girls build confidence while developing their skills alongside teammates, in a fun, supportive, and encouraging all-girls environment. Through ten (10) one-hour sessions, your child will learn the fundamentals of skating, stick-handling, passing, and shooting. In addition, players will learn the importance of hard work, teamwork, sportsmanship, and healthy competition in a positive all-girls setting.

Best of all, your child's registration also includes a FREE brand-new set of head-to-toe CCM hockey equipment, custom fitted by our partners at Pure Hockey. Past participants are welcome to join Learn to Play for another season, or all three! However, you will not receive a set of equipment if you have participated in the program before.

Led by the Rangers Hockey Development Team, the league features two 10-week seasons, each including:
