GGHA is proud to have the only all girls hockey program in the state of South Carolina.  While it is great for girls to play with the boys at younger ages it is important to establish an all girls program where girls can continue to play the sport.  Our goal is to continue to grow our girls program so our young women will still have a place to play hockey once body checking is established in the boys game.  GGHA currently has three brackets in our girls program. The first (the Warrior Princesses) is for our younger and smaller girls, this division plays in mostly cross ice style jamborees to introduce the sport.  The second (the Greenville Lady Warriors) is for the older more experienced girls who are ready for full ice more competitive hockey.  The third (the South Carolina Lady Warriors), is a select tournament team in the SGHL (Southern Girls Hockey League.)

For all girls in the area with their own or loaner equipment we offer these all girls skills sessions.  This next block,  April-Sept is being offered at no cost to you! Contact coach Matt at gghagirlshockey@gmail.com to get on the list.

  • April 10th @ 11:45am.... Pavilion
  • May 1st @ 11:45am.... Pavilion
  • June 12th @ 11:45am.... Pavilion
  • July 10th @ 11:45am.... Pavilion
  • August 14th @ 11:45am.... Pavilion
  • September 11th @ 11:45am.... Pavilion

GGHA operates all these teams as an add on experience.  Girls need to either be currently participating in a Learn to Play, House, or a Travel program to be eligible.  

As many areas in our region do not have the numbers to support an all girls program, we accept any girl who meets the above criteria to join us.  We currently have girls from Charleston, Columbia, and Asheville  who play with us.  

The girls experience tends to be much more of a social one when compared to the boys programs.  While competition is always part of it, we understand that building friendships and having a great experience is what it is all about.

A message from our girls coordinator


Girls Program Coordinator & Head Coach, Matt Hoyle

I am so proud of the strides our girls program has come in the past few years and am excited to watch it to continue to grow.  The relationships and friendships that are built around this program continue to amaze me.  While these young ladies are fierce Warriors during competition, their off ice connection is truly inspiring.  Girls see and play the game differently than their male counterparts.  We recognize that for most of them socialization and friendships take priority over the game itself.  My goal is to build individual athleticism, hockey skills, and a passion for the game,  while building a team of young ladies and friends that can last a lifetime.

Meet Herbert, the unofficial  mascot of the Lady Warriors hockey team.  Herbert travels with the girls everywhere and it is considered bad "JuJu" to play when Herbert is not present.  

 

UPDATE: Our precious Herbert has gone missing.  Last seen hanging from the glass behind the home bench at the Wellness arena.
