Michiana Womens Hockey League: Welcome

Welcome to the home of the only Women's Hockey League in Northern Indiana, the Michiana Sting!

Sting welcomes girls and women ages 14 and up (our current players range in age from 14 to 50 plus) of all skill levels - whether you've never been on skates before or have played for years. 

For the 2011-2012 Season we will have a house league based at the Ice Box.  The format will be a mix of games and practises.  We have ice time Sundays at 5:45 pm. This is a great opportunity to play games and developing your skills.  

There is also a Sting Select team that plays in the SBSHL in the rec division. 

If you are interested in playing, or would like more information, please contact Maria Barton.  Email: michianasting@yahoo.com.  It is never too late too join.

No equipment, no problem.  Contact us and we can make arrangements to have some available for you to use.

Here are some pointers to keep in mind while playing: 

- Push yourself at practice! You'll only get better!

- When you shoot, look at the net, NOT the goalie!

- Watch as much hockey as you can. You'll be surprised by how much you'll learn. Pay attention to how the players position themselves in different situations. Watch how they skate, pass, and shoot.

- When playing defense one-on-one, stay between the player and the net. Try your hardest to make them go to the boards instead of the slot (in the middle). Control the gap between you and the other player and keep your stick out front.  And be patient! Let the forward make the first move, then  react to it. If you lunge at the puck and miss, you could find yourself right out of the play.

- If you're having a hard time with your wrist shot, keep this in mind: look where you're shooting, not at the puck. Pull the puck back and follow through by pointing your stick where you want the puck to go. When the puck starts to come off the ice, you should roll your wrists to have more accurate shots.

- ALWAYS keep your feet moving!
