our story
WHO ARE WE? We are a diverse group of women brought together by a shared commitment to strengthen the women’s ball hockey community in New York City. We believe in the transformative power of sport as individuals and as a collective working toward common goals.
We understand the importance of recognizing women’s experiences —on and off the dek— and seek to foster inclusivity, support and an understanding of healthy competition that can transfer positively into daily life.
WBHNYC is a 501c3 exempt non-profit organization. All proceeds from WBHNYC sanctioned events go towards growing the women's game and empowering players through the sport.
