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 the 2025-26 season will be held on the following dates:

• 10U-12U: March 23
• 14U-19U: May 1 & 4

Tryout registration for Ice Dogs’ 2025-2026 Girls CBHL programs is now open!

PRACTICES AND GAMES

Girls’ teams practice twice a week and play an average of 2 weekend games. They typically also play in 3-4 tournaments throughout the season. Most games are played at rinks throughout Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland with some teams traveling routinely to Pennsylvania and New Jersey; tournaments may be farther away.
