Traverse City North Stars Girls Hockey is the premier girls hockey program in Northern Michigan dedicated to providing a home for all area girls to develop the foundation, skills and love for the sport of hockey.  

North Stars Girls Hockey is dedicated to supporting, developing, and empowering ALL girls looking to play the sport of hockey in Traverse City. The 2022-2023 season currently has over 100 females registered in GTHA, ¼ of the association. Whether rostered with any of the six girls teams, or the co-ed travel and house teams, girls 5 to 19 years old all have a home to experience the fun of playing the amazing game of hockey. The North Stars Program is rooted in the belief that girls who are having fun will develop quickest, the skills necessary to compete at an elite level. North Stars Girls teams are home to three state champions, one runner up, and multiple semi-finalists in the past four years.

On November 11, 2022, the North Stars Girls Hockey Program is holding it’s inaugural, 80’s Skate Night!, a fundraiser at Centre Ice Arena in Traverse City. The open skate will take place from 6:30PM - 9:30PM.

The organization is inviting the entire community to rally behind the program that empowers and enables young girls to join the sport. The family friendly event includes a fun 80’s theme with neon lights and 80’s tunes on the ice! The event will have incredible experiences including food by local food truck, Good on Wheels, beverages, door prizes, a silent auction, and various kids activities. All proceeds will to go to supporting local girls playing hockey in Traverse City.

“The girls program is about providing access to hockey and elevating the game for women and girls of all ages. The experiences these girls have in sports creates a larger message of collaboration, confidence and empowerment they will use throughout their lives. It is our goal to bring the game of hockey to all girls in the community!” said Emily Wilson, VP TC North Stars Girls Hockey

“Traverse City, once known as “Hockey Town North,” is not surprisingly leading in growing the sport of girls hockey in the state of Michigan. When my oldest daughter first joined seven years ago, there were two North Stars girls teams…now there are six. It’s an absolute blast to see more and more of Traverse City girls lacing ‘em up, and competing each season. - Jim Feeley, Coach, 10U North Stars Girls.
