CIHC Girls HS Hockey League
We modeled this after the local women's league here. There are a few key differences from regular games:

Some kids will still keep score in their heads. But there's a reason a lot of youth leagues are moving away from this for starting players. We want to emphasize skill development over the outcome of a scrimmage.

Female hockey is a small community, and it's nice to get to know people outside your team as well. This helps to keep games more civil, and helps grow the sport as a whole.
๐) Kids are grouped ๐๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ
Every two minutes, we ring the buzzer for everyone to switch lines.
For girls who are just starting out, they aren't overwhelmed by someone who can skate right past them. For girls who are a little more advanced, they can skate with players who will challenge them.

We kept the fees for this low as this is the first time we are doing this, so it basically covers the ice. A typical tournament is about $200-300 per player, plus the cost of traveling out of town and getting a hotel. Most tournaments are 3-4 games depending on how you do.
This is $150 for six games and no travel fees. Even if you can't make all of the games, it's still a much better deal than a typical tournament. And if that is still a bit steep, we have needs-based scholarships available.
