The Avalon Girls Hockey League offered by the NL Rock Devils organization in partnership with the Atlantic Hockey Group aims to support the well rounded development of hockey players in Newfoundland and Labrador. Our Mission is to instill a passion in all our players that goes beyond the game of hockey and into everyday lives. Teaching values such as Respect, Teamwork, Hard Work, and Determination in a fun learning environment is what we believe not only creates great hockey players but also amazing people.
The Avalon Girls Hockey League is meant to be supplementary hockey for girls that are looking for additional hockey to further develop their skills while playing competitive games. The programming is focused on development of players including basic skills like skating, passing, shooting to more advanced development like system play.
