Female Hockey

Welcome! We hope that you and your family consider the Female Hockey Program for your

daughter’s sport activity. We would be happy to answer all of your questions regarding the

Female Hockey Program at any time.

Our Female Hockey Program believes that hockey is for life. There are opportunities for higher-

level competitive hockey and for those players just looking for an activity.

Our player base grows each year. It is never too late to start playing female hockey. We

continually have transfers from boys hockey and ringette. Every year, we have new players

join our Female Hockey Program at different age levels.

Each year, the St. Boniface Female Hockey Committee supports our players through several

initiatives made possible by past committee volunteers and the Stars Cup for Life tournament.

• We have enough jerseys (home & away) for each player with our own Stars/ Saints logo.
• Our Female Hockey Program has the same look from Novice to Midget.
• Each female team has options for on-ice or off-ice team development
• credits for Stars/Saints clothing.

Our season-ending hockey tournament is known as the Stars Cup for Life. We have teams

from Ontario, Saskatchewan and rural Manitoba that travel to play in this competitive

tournament. Look for us at Southdale and other south-Winnipeg arenas in late March.

Who We Are

The St. Boniface Female Hockey Committee (SBFHC) is responsible for organizing, promoting

and advancing the female minor ice hockey program in St. Boniface and Transcona. The

SBFHC Chair is a voting member of the St. Boniface Minor Hockey Association. St. Boniface

is the only hockey association in Winnipeg with a female hockey committee.

The SBFHC is comprised of a convener, vice-convener, Stars Cup for Life tournament chair,

treasurer, secretary and a representative from the Transcona Minor Hockey Association. The

SBFHC has a position responsible for the AA programs. Additional members are appointed

from the SBFHC hockey teams. These members assist primarily in the preparation and execution

of the Stars Cup for Life tournament (held in late March). 

Female teams are formed according to Winnipeg Minor Hockey Association rules based upon

the number of players registered at each age division. The number of registered players and

the minimum/ maximum roster size determines the number of teams to be entered. The

number of teams entered then determines the number of teams at the A1, A2, and A3 level of play.  

Female hockey is categorized into the following:

• Novice: 8 and under - A1; A2; A3
• Atom:  9-10 yrs - A1; A2; A3
• Peewee: 11-12 yrs - A1; A2; A3
• Bantam:13-14 yrs - AA: A1; A2; A3
• Midget: 15-17 yrs - AA: A

Female teams are assigned to community centres within the St. Boniface and Transcona areas.

The benefits of this assignment include access to community gyms and outside practice ice. All

the female teams are known either as the “Stars”, or, in the case of the AA programs, the “Saints”.
