Girls Hockey
PROFESSIONAL LEVEL PROGRAM
THE FEIA Falcons Girls Hockey Program is entering it’s second full season in 2023-2024 as a member of the US based National Girls Hockey League. The league currently has 32 teams spread right across the US from Vegas to Idaho, Maine to New Jersey and all points in between, This coming seasons schedule currently features 10 showcases split between the US and Canada. Those 10 showcases add up to approximately 40 games. The Falcons will also be hosting several games and a Showcase of their own.
The Falcons will continue visiting several other U-Sport and NCAA programs when time permits. The goal is for student-athletes to gain exposure to the differences between post-secondary leagues and programs and understand the level of hockey and commitment required to play university hockey in Canada and the U.S.
The Falcons are scheduled to practice four times a week, attend hockey lab (video/strategy/motivation/philosophy) once a week and take part in strength and conditioning each weekday.
The Falcons have entered into a special partnership with Pelino Athletic Performance. Their mission is to be the global leader of cognition care for all athletes and their fans. They aim to inspire and assist the potential of Niagara’s athletes competing internationally to reach the top of the podium.
Team building is an integral part of Falcons Hockey. The girls will be participating in various activities over the season to build friendships and teamwork and, most importantly, to have fun.
