Welcome to the SCFHA House League

As the only all-female hockey league in our community, our vision is to enrich the lives of girls and women of all ages through Canada’s national sport.
At SCFHA, we provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where players can learn, develop, and grow—both on and off the ice. Our focus is on fun, friendship, and skill development in a low-pressure, positive setting that welcomes players of all experience levels.
