Top Teams and Leagues in California

In Northern California, the Pacific Coast Women’s Hockey League (PCWHL) fields clubs like the Bay Area Blades and Sacramento Storm. These teams compete year‑round and host tournaments that draw talent from across the West. Down south, the Southern California Women’s Hockey Association (SCWHA) runs a busy schedule for clubs such as the LA Ice Queens and San Diego Sirens. Both leagues prioritize development, offering camps for beginners and elite training for advanced players.

Player Spotlights and Upcoming Events

One name to watch is forward Maya Torres, a UCLA alum who recently broke the season‑record for points in the SCWHA. Her speed on the ice and community work make her a role model for young athletes. Another standout is goalie Jenna Lee of the Bay Area Blades, who’s been posting shutout streaks this month. Keep an eye on their social feeds for behind‑the‑scenes clips and meet‑and‑greet dates.

Mark your calendar for the California Women’s Hockey Classic on October 12‑14. The three‑day event will feature an all‑star game, skill challenges, and a coaching clinic led by former national team members. Tickets are on sale now, and early‑bird pricing ends next week.

If you’re looking to get on the ice yourself, the state offers plenty of beginner programs. The LA Ice Academy runs a “First‑Timer” package that includes equipment rental, a basic skills session, and a group practice. In the Bay Area, the Ice Works Center offers weekend drop‑in clinics for girls ages 8‑14. Prices are affordable, and many clubs provide scholarships for families who need assistance.
