Women’s Hockey

Palouse Women's Hockey Club logo

Women’s hockey on the Palouse has a home. The Palouse Women’s Hockey Club (PWHC) is a 501(c)(7) nonprofit organization built around a simple idea: create a welcoming, supportive space where women and non-binary individuals can learn to play hockey, get more ice time, and be part of a community. They practice right here at the Palouse Ice Rink.

All skill levels are welcome. If you can skate a lap at public skate, you’re ready to join.

What to Expect

The PWHC runs coached practice sessions, scrimmages, games, and social events throughout the season. Practices are structured to work for everyone — beginners building fundamentals alongside experienced players looking for more ice time and competition. The club follows USA Hockey rules for safety and conduct, though no USA Hockey registration number is required to participate.

Players must be 14 or older to join. Most events are open to all ages, though a small number may be limited to participants 18 and up.

Membership

The 2025–26 season includes 20 scheduled ice times. Membership options are designed to be accessible:

  • Full season membership — $250 (payment plan available: 4 payments of $62.50)
  • Drop-in rate — $15 per session (drop-in fees can be applied toward full membership later in the season)

If cost is a barrier, reach out — the club has options and is committed to finding a way to make participation work.

Gear

Full hockey gear is strongly recommended. At minimum, bring a helmet, skates, and a stick. The club doesn’t currently have loaner gear, but members may be able to help connect you with equipment that fits. Gear donations are always welcome.
