GIRLS' HOCKEY
NoVA Ice Dogs Girls’ Teams have several options for leagues and level of play. Teams compete in the Chesapeake Bay Hockey League (CBHL) and also play independent schedules.
TRYOUTS AND LEVEL OF PLAY
Tryouts are held each spring for placement on teams. The level of play for each team is determined after tryouts and that determines league, schedule, and national-bound declarations. The season runs from August to March.
Tryouts for our 2026-27 girls travel teams will take place on the following dates:
10U/12U Girls
- Dates: Saturday, March 21 & Sunday, March 22
- Time: 3:30pm-4:30pm
14U/16U Girls
- Dates: Saturday, April 18 & Sunday, April 19
- Time: 1:30pm-2:30pm
16U/19U Girls
- Dates: Saturday, April 18 & Sunday, April 19

Players should plan to attend both sessions. If your player cannot make the tryout session(s), please email Larry.Blake@novaicedogs.org to schedule an alternate evaluation.
