Girls Hockey

According to USA Hockey, “…girls hockey is among the fastest-growing youth sports in the United States.” More girls and women are participating in ice hockey than ever before!  

 For the 2025-2026 season, Wausau will host 10U, 12U and 14U Storm girls hockey teams.

• This will no longer be a Cooperative (Coop) program.
• Players will register with Wausau Youth Hockey and abide by their guidelines and rules.
• Jerseys are included in the registration fees, featuring the "Storm" branding
• Financial Assistance: If you are unable to afford the registration fees of the association you are registering with, you can apply for financial assistance through the association.
• Coaching: The coaches for the girls Storm hockey teams will need to be part of the hosting association and will be determined through Wausau’s application and selection process.
• Skills and Drills: Girls registered with Wausau for 10U, 12U and 14U levels will be invited to participate in the skills and drills sessions.
• Registration with the organizations will open on July 1^st, 2025 and close on August 15 for 10U-14U levels. Skaters need to declare by 11:59pm on August 15 if they are playing coed or girls hockey.
