ABOUT US

The Women of Colour Hockey Collective is dedicated to empowering women of colour in hockey by creating access, fostering leadership, and building community. We are committed to transforming the sport by supporting grassroots initiatives, amplifying underrepresented voices, and investing in the next generation of players and leaders. Rooted in our work across Canada—with connections that extend beyond our borders—we strive to make hockey more inclusive, equitable, and representative for women everywhere the game is played.

who are we?

The Women of Colour Hockey Collective (WCHC) is a Canadian-based non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting and supporting women and girls of colour in hockey. Building on the foundation of Black Girl Hockey Club Canada, we provide a community where players feel seen, valued, and empowered.

Our work begins here in Canada, but our impact extends to the many communities of women of colour who contribute to the game across the world. We exist to create belonging, visibility, and opportunity at every level of hockey.

how we help

We support women and girls of colour in hockey by addressing the barriers that make the game difficult to access. Through scholarships, financial grants, mentorship, equipment support, community events, and leadership development, we provide pathways for players to grow both on and off the ice.

Our programs are designed to foster confidence, connection, and long-term success—helping athletes navigate the Canadian hockey system while preparing them for the opportunities the sport can offer at collegiate, professional, and international levels.

our mission

Grounded in our Canadian roots—and connected to a broader global community—our mission is to make hockey more inclusive, equitable, and representative for women of colour at every level of the game.
