KWWRHL

The purpose of the K-W Women's Recreational League (KWWRHL) is the development of women’s ice hockey as a recreational sport, in the spirit of fellowship and fair play. In order to be eligible for this league, women must be at least 21 years of age and not registered with another association.

The Waterloo Women's Recreational Hockey League, established in 1997, arose from the desire of a hockey and ringette player to participate in an organized league without the cost and time commitment of her former traveling competitive teams. Recognizing the demand for a women's recreational hockey league in the Waterloo area, a group of 6 women came together to launch the Waterloo Women's Recreational Hockey League. The group also saw a need to provide a welcoming environment for women trying hockey for the first time. The group's vision was presented to the City of Waterloo, who supported the league by providing sufficient ice time to start the league. In 1998, with the support of the City of Kitchener, the league converted its name to the K-W Women's Recreational Hockey League. The league has grown steadily from 6 teams in 1997 to its current 14 teams. 

Skills clinics during the winter months have always been a part of our league. The sessions have been successful and we hope to be able to continue this program.
