🏒 U22/Senior Women’s House Hockey in Ottawa — A Rare Opportunity for Players 18+

Finding hockey opportunities for girls and women over 18 can be surprisingly difficult. Many programs shift straight into competitive travel levels, leaving very few true house-style options for players who simply want to keep playing in a fun, supportive, and community-focused environment.

That’s why the OGHA U22 / Senior Women’s House League is such an important and unique program in Ottawa.

Designed for players from across the city, this league offers a welcoming space where athletes can continue enjoying the game they love while building skills, confidence, and lasting friendships — without elite-level pressure.

✅ Why This U22/Senior Women’s League Matters

This program is perfect for players who want to:

• ✅ Continue playing after U18

• ✅ Build skills and confidence in a positive setting

• ✅ Enjoy team hockey without intense competition

• ✅ Stay connected to the women’s hockey community

The focus is on sportsmanship, fair play, and long-term enjoyment of the game, helping keep more women involved in hockey beyond youth divisions.

Whether players are returning to the ice or continuing directly from U18, the U22/Senior House League provides an inclusive, development-focused pathway to stay active and competitive.
