The TLGHA is one of Ontario's largest hockey associations for women and girls, with over 1,200 participants ranging in age from 3- and 4-year-olds in our Learn-to-Play program to over 150 adults playing in our senior house league. The TLGHA prides itself on its commitment to having women in leadership roles in our organization. Every team in our organization—competitive and house league—has at least one woman in a leadership role on the team staff. Our older competitive Wildcats (in Midget and Bantam) are offered the opportunity to certify as referees, and many players volunteer as coaches and instructors in our house league. We believe that creating leadership roles for women in hockey is central to the long-term success of the sport.We are not only committed to advancing women's hockey here in the heart of Toronto, but we are dedicated in playing a role for International Development as well. Following the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver we saw an opportunity to play a part in the development of the sport outside of Canada —hosted the Women's National Team of China and 2018 saw the Toronto Leaside Wildcats host the New Zealand National Women's Team, the Ice Fernz. They competed in 2 exhibition games and in our own Leaside March Break Madness Tournament as they prepared for the IIHF World Championships in Spain. As more national women's teams come to Ontario for training and development, the Association will continue to work with the OWHA to provide opportunities for these teams to compete against Wildcats teams.These initiatives are a unique component of the Toronto Leaside Wildcats programming. We are grateful for the support of countless volunteers and, especially, of the host families who make these opportunities possible.
