Girls Hockey
Here at RoughRiders Hockey Club – Cedar Rapids (RRHC) we are in the process of building our girls program here. With that said, we have a very good strong core of RRHC local girls for the creation of an 8U, 10U, and 12U girls only tournament team and our 14U full season team locally.
We provide opportunities for female players to join hockey here at RRHC through our Instructional Program (IP), RoughRiders Youth Hockey League (RYHL), or traveling tournament teams.
RRHC Girls Hockey Philosophies:
- Hockey is a sport that should be enjoyed by every person regardless of gender, ability, race, or socioeconomic status.
- 8U through 12U girls
- RRHC supports the development through the belief that boys and girls should play together through 12U. In our world it is important that both genders learn to work together and as a youth sports club it is our responsibility to provide this experience; however, in extreme conditions, exceptions are made.
- 8U will have an option for 1 additional girls only tournament
- 10U-12U will have an option for 3 additional girls only tournaments
- 14U girls
- RRHC does offer a 14U full season girls team that is not COED
- RRHC does offer an option for a tournament player only roster size permitting.
Key Details About RRHC Girls Hockey:
- These teams are in addition to your current home association schedule. Your home association takes precedence over playing for our teams.
- If possible – NOT REQUIRED – we will provide you an option to come down and join us for a practice or two leading up to the tournament weekends.
- Your current home association can NOT have a current girls’ team for your age group.
- Jerseys and socks will be provided for your player for the weekend and returned afterwards. If you’d like to purchase them that can be discussed later.
- Registration fee
- A registration fee will not be required for registered RRHC COED travel players.
- Any female player looking to join RRHC for our tournament team outside of RRHC is subject to the registration fee.
