The National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) represents the highest level of Women's league play in the world. The league creates an environment that recognizes the world class status of these players in a way that represents them as role models for young athletes. Most of Team Canada’s players are members of the NWHL and the league attracts US national players as well. Women's hockey is "hockey the way it should be" - fast-paced and virtually fight free.
