A Message From The Waterloo Girls Hockey Association (WGHA)
As our 2024-2025 season is coming to a close, the WGHA Board would like to thank our many, many volunteers who have put in countless hours to support the activities of our Ravens teams and programs.

As our 2024-2025 season is coming to a close, the WGHA Board would like to thank our many, many volunteers who have put in countless hours to support the activities of our Ravens teams and programs. We could not have done it without you! This past year certainly has been filled with many great accomplishments – skill development and advancement, success at tournaments, new friendships, and lots of fun.

Since our humble beginnings in 2001 we have grown from 60 players to over 600 players annually. It’s great to see so many females participating and enjoying our sport. With this growth comes complexity as an organization. We rely heavily on volunteers and will continue to do so in the years to come. However, to keep things running smoothly on a day-to-day basis and take some of the load from our volunteer Directors, the Board has decided that we need additional full-time staff to support this tremendous growth and provide leadership to carry us forward in the years to come. We have been able to make this staffing addition within our existing budget.

WGHA is excited to be seeking its inaugural Executive Director. We are looking for a visionary and dynamic leader to establish and shape the role. Building on WGHA’s strong 24-year history, this position will be instrumental in guiding the organization’s continued growth, strengthening its impact, and further elevating girls' hockey in the community.

As the first individual to hold this role, the Executive Director will further advance WGHA’s strategic direction, guide operational excellence, enhance community engagement and work closely with the Board of Directors to achieve WGHA’s mission. The Executive Director will provide leadership and support to a staff team (1 full-time and 3 part-time) and over 900 volunteers.

Applications are currently being accepted for the position. If you know of anyone you think might be interested in applying, please feel free to share the job posting and or have them reach out to [email protected]m for more details. The position can be found here and is also posted on Indeed.

Good luck and congratulations to everyone participating in the season ending Waterloo Cup, Championship Weekend, Provincials, or try-outs for the 2025-2026 season!

Thank you again for a fantastic season!

For the Kids! For the Game! For the Fun of it!

Sandra Hanmer

President
