ADULT / WOMEN

2024 Season Update

After careful consideration, the Withrow Women’s Ball Hockey Executive Committee has decided to introduce two additional teams to the league as part of a “2024 Trial Pilot Expansion Project.” This decision is in response to the overwhelming interest of players who are eager to join our league. We believe that expanding the league from six to eight teams will accommodate this growing interest and enhance our community’s overall competitiveness and camaraderie.

As our expansion is a 2024 Trial Pilot Expansion Project, players moved from the waitlist to make up the new teams and are guaranteed a spot for the 2024 season. However, they do not have “returning player status” for the 2025 season at this time.
