Our Kids Play Hockey

How can we expand the world of girls' hockey?
This episode of Our Girls Play Hockey explores this question with Kristen Bowness, who shares her journey of growing girls' hockey programs in Nashville and now in Utah. She highlights the importance of girls-only hockey, emphasizing how these programs and tournaments foster camaraderie and provide unique opportunities for those who prefer not to play co-ed.
The discussion also touches on how events like the Preds Girls Classic can drive the sport's growth by offering both playing opportunities and social experiences.
Kristen also sheds light on the success of women's learn-to-play programs for adults, helping parents connect with their children's hockey experiences.
