Hi {{ contact.FIRSTNAME }},
We are excited to announce the first annual DMV Women’s
Hockey Mashup Tournament at the Laurel Ice Gardens,
September 17th-19th. The tournament’s goal is to bring
together the community to kick off the winter season and
highlight the amazing opportunities in the area to play the sport
we all love. The tournament will feature a weekend of fun-filled
hockey, an 80's vs. 90's All Star game, an opportunity to get your
friends who don’t play hockey on the ice, and a tailgate
featuring the best of women’s hockey. For more information
about the weekend events click here.
The D division is SOLD OUT for teams. Please contact

In the spirit of kicking off the hockey season, this month's
newsletter highlights the local women’s winter competitive
teams and leagues in the area. Whether you recently picked up
hockey, played when you were a child, or played competitively in
college, there are opportunities for you to join established
women’s teams in the DMV area.
Hope to see you on the ice!

Mid-Atlantic Women’s Hockey League (MAWHL) Established in 1975, MAWHL (Mid-Atlantic Women’s Hockey League) is the oldest continuously active women’s ice hockey league on the East coast. Their goal is to provide a place for women to play ice hockey in a competitive and friendly atmosphere. There are currently two divisions: Senior C and Senior D. The C level provides an opportunity for women who may have played prep or varsity high school, non-varsity college (ACHA), NCAA college, or have 10+ years of women’s adult hockey playing experience. D players typically have at least 2-3 years of experience and are looking for a higher level of competition than a ‘Learn to Play’ league. The D level provides an opportunity for women to develop their skills and have fun playing a game they love! If you do not currently play on a women’s team but are interested in joining a MAWHL team please contact MAWHLboard@gmail.com and check out the DMV Women’s Hockey Tailgate Party on September 18 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at The Gardens Ice House.

We had a chance to chat with Jen Birsa and hear her hockey story! 1. When did you start playing hockey? I was in my mid-forties when I decided to take the leap and play the game. My husband had joined a low-level hockey team and convinced me to join. I immediately loved it and was hooked. 2. Where do you currently play? I currently play for Sharks and in the Women's Silver Division at Gardens Ice House. 3. What is your favorite hockey memory? My favorite memory is playing in Women's Gold for a few years. It was lightning fast, and the women were always encouraging and supportive with an old timer like me. And, scoring a goal in that league was truly special
