Grindstone Girls Rock the Rink 2019

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 The Grindstone Award Foundation and sponsored by Kelowna Minor Hockey Association. 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 year Girls Rock the Rink will be held over two days, on SATURDAY & SUNDAY! Groups will be dependent on age and skill levels. Girls ages 5-18 are welcome to register.This year we will have Olympian, Natalie Spooner coming to Kelowna to join our event which will be something the girls won’t forget!Saturday will consist of an on-ice skills session with Natalie Spooner, 1 dryland session, and a 30-minute Leadership & Empowerment Session with Registered Clinical Counsellor, Barb Egan. We will of course have a stack of experienced female role models helping the girls both on and off the ice. On Sunday, the girls will participate in a fun game where they can try out their skills with our female instructors on the bench coaching them on!REGISTER NOW! SPACE IS LIMITED! Our goal is to raise funds for the Grindstone Award Foundation – to help female hockey players with financial aid that otherwise couldn’t afford to play. All proceeds raised from this event will go towards this effort. The cost of this event is $75/player or $50 for players registered with Kelowna Minor Hockey as they are our title sponsor. If that is an issue, please come talk to us – it is our goal not to have financial barriers that limit your daughter from playing.https://grindstoneaward.com/girls-rock-the-rink-2019/OPEN TO GIRLS OF ALL AGES AND SKILL LEVELSThis is a FUN event open to all girls between 5 and 18 years of age of ALL skill levels.
