Saskatchewan sees rise in female hockey players, officials
The sounds of skates on ice, pucks hitting the glass and sticks banging on the boards are almost here.
As another season of minor hockey approaches in Saskatchewan, more female hockey players than ever before are getting set to play.
Executive Director of Hockey Saskatchewan, Kelly McClintock, said the organization had noticed a steady increase in female hockey players across the province.
“The last 10 years we’ve seen almost close to double the amount of female hockey players,” McClintock said.
