🏒 Building Women’s Hockey in Ottawa — Together

Women’s hockey in Ottawa is growing — not at the elite level alone, but where it matters most: at the community and beginner level. More women are stepping onto the ice for the first time. More are returning after years away. More are looking for hockey that feels welcoming, supportive, and fun.

At HockeyHub Development Canada Inc., we organize and operate women’s hockey programs that make those first steps — and those returns — possible.

Community sponsorship plays a critical role in keeping that growth accessible, sustainable, and positive.

💙 What Women’s Hockey Looks Like at HockeyHub Canada

Women’s hockey through HockeyHub Development Canada Inc. is not a single team or a one-off event. It is a set of active programs built around development, confidence, and enjoyment of the game.

Our women’s initiatives currently include:

🏒 Women’s Practices

Women-only practices designed to support:

• Beginner and developing players

• Skill development without pressure

• Confidence-building in a non-intimidating environment

These practices focus on skating, positioning, puck control, and game awareness — while maintaining a supportive, social atmosphere.

🔥 Women’s 3-on-3 Hockey

Our Women’s 3-on-3 program offers:

• Fast-paced, fun hockey

• More puck touches and creativity

• Short shifts and lots of involvement

• A social, welcoming game environment

3-on-3 hockey is especially effective for development and enjoyment, making it a cornerstone of our women’s programming.

🏒 Ottawa West Beginner Hockey (OWBH) — Women’s Programs

Through Ottawa West Beginner Hockey (OWBH), we operate women’s hockey programs specifically designed for adult beginners and returning players.

These programs emphasize:

🤝 Why Sponsorship Matters

Running women’s hockey programs in today’s environment is challenging.

Ice costs continue to rise. Equipment and apparel costs add up quickly. Keeping programs affordable for new players requires careful planning.

Sponsorship support allows us to focus on the experience — not just survival.

Community partners help us:

• Improve the quality of practices and games

• Provide jerseys, pinnies, and shared equipment

• Support goalie participation

• Keep programs accessible for beginners

This support has a direct and visible impact on the ice.

👕 Meaningful Sponsor Visibility

We believe sponsor recognition should feel authentic — not forced.

Depending on sponsorship level, partners may receive recognition through:

• Logo placement on women’s practice jerseys or warm-ups

• Visibility at women’s 3-on-3 sessions

• Recognition on women’s hockey pages and program materials

• Social media features tied directly to women’s programs

• Logo placement on custom team apparel produced with the Vintage Goalie brand

Sponsors are connected to the programs they support — not buried in a list.

🌱 Supporting Long-Term Growth in Women’s Hockey

Women’s hockey in Ottawa is still building momentum, and that is what makes this moment important.

Sponsorship helps us:

• Add more women-only ice opportunities

• Maintain beginner-friendly pricing

• Improve consistency across programs

• Support women returning to the game

• Build a sustainable pathway for lifelong participation in hockey

Sponsors who support our programs are not just funding a season — they are helping shape the future of community women’s hockey.
