HISTORY

The Boise Women’s Hockey Association (BWHA) was organized circa 1998 to introduce the confidence building sport of ice hockey to Boise girls and women. While some BWHA members grew up playing hockey, a majority of the members are new to the sport, having watched their spouses, children or friends play. From that small start with one team, the local women’s hockey program has grown to a 4 team recreational league, as well as several travel teams, who practice and travel to tournaments throughout the northwest. We are thrilled that the league continues to grow each season!

CHARITY

As a non-profit 501 (3)(c) organization*, BWHA hosts such annual events as Hockey 101 (where a majority of us got started in the sport!), Learn to Skate sessions for Girl Scouts, and a series of co-ed games for our Cancer Skate fundraiser. These activities are funded in part by member dues, but would not be possible without community support and year-round fundraising.
