St. Thomas celebrates growing girls hockey association [Video]

It’s a celebration of girls hockey.

The St. Thomas Panthers organization held ‘Panther Day’ focusing on recognizing IIAF World Girls Hockey weekend.

“We are just bringing all of our teams and our entire association together and they’re all playing a game against an opponent while they’re here,” said Quinn Sciberras, Panthers vice-president.

“I think we have 15 teams, all in the same place, all in the same day”

In Canada, new data is not available to showcase how many girls hockey players there are now, but it’s booming especially with the creation of the Professional Women’s Hockey League.

“We are just so excited to be celebrating and supporting just young females in our community through camaraderie, good sportsmanship and coming together to go above and beyond like they do for their teams, in their community,” said Emily Robertson, Panthers coordinator of special events.
