The Women's National Para Hockey program began in Ontario when a handful of female para hockey players thought it would be fun to play on a team made up of only women.
Over a decade later, women from all over the country travel to compete for a spot on the national team. It's become about more than just being an all women team, it's now a chance to represent Canada playing the sport we love. The National Team is player funded and run by volunteers who work hard to make the dream of being on Team Canada a reality for women.
