ABOUT the EVENT

Girls Rock the Rink was an initiative started by a small group of enthusiastic parents and coaches in 2014. Every year we have grown into what we are today! This event is brought to you by the Grindstone Award Foundation and sponsored by Kelowna Minor Hockey. This is your opportunity to have your daughter give hockey a try for the first time or to learn some new skills with friends. This is a fun event with both on-ice and off-ice sessions, games and depending on what age/skill group players are in, we will be holding mini-skill competitions.
