About Us
Welcome to the North Shore Female Ice Hockey Association (NSFIHA), where our goal is to propel females to greatness, on and off the ice! We are a female-focused ice hockey association for girls 5-18 living in North and West Vancouver, BC. We provide a fun, safe and inclusive environment where girls can learn to play hockey, and aspire to reach their full potential. We field teams from U7 through to U18.
Our Association is governed and operated by volunteers, most of whom are parents of our players. The outstanding quality of the players’ experiences and the results we see on the ice directly reflect the effort and energy contributed by our amazing volunteers.
NSFIHA History
Playing hockey is an exhilarating experience; it’s fast, exciting, fun and it’s part of the fabric of our Canadian culture, creating a special connection for both players and parents.
North Shore Avalanche hockey is designed to build on the fun of the game and become a peak experience both on and off the ice for females aged 5 to 18. It is designed to focus on hockey skill development at both the recreational and the highest competitive levels, and bring girls and young women together in a team setting where they can play together as friends and competitors.
