About Us
About Us
Founded more than 35 years ago, the Kanata Girls Hockey Association grew slowly until 1990 when the first ever Women's World Championships were played here in Ottawa. Registration shot through the roof, and we have continued to grow to become one of the largest Girls Association in Eastern Ontario with over 700 players of all ages, playing on more than 40 teams!
The KGHA draws girls from Kanata as well as the neighbouring communities of Stittsville, Richmond and West Carleton. Our annual KGHA tournaments draw teams from across the province, Quebec and the U.S.

Program Guidance
In developing the policy manual, it became clear that the Executive needed to also document guidance it has developed over many years, which could not be made official policy, because it is not always achievable. This guidance can be found in the Resource section with Policy.
