THE FEIA Falcons Girls Hockey Program is in 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 the west coast to the east coast and all points in between. The Falcons qualified for the NGHL’s National Championship, hosted by Lovell Academy in Rockland, Mass, from February 2 – 4, finishing 4th in standings out of the 12 teams that qualified and missing the semi-final by virtue of a tie-breaker rule. The Falcons ended the round robin 4 and 1, their only loss to the eventual National Champions, Lovell Academy 19U T1. The Falcons were the second highest scoring team at the event. They ended Nationals ranked 2nd in a three-way tie. An amazing accomplishment for a second year program. The Falcons jumped up to the U22 category in the OWHA this season, up from the U18 category they competed at last season and are a fully sanctioned Hockey Canada Sports School registered through and also sanctioned by the Ontario Womens Hockey League. 

This seasons schedule featured 8 showcases split between the US and Canada. Those 8 showcases plus exhibition added up 45 games. We have a similar schedule of showcases set for 2024-2025, split evenly between the US and Canada.

The Falcons will continue visiting several 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.
