GBHL Inaugural Season - Fall 2024
The Girls Ball Hockey League (GBHL) of New Jersey is an upstart nonprofit dek hockey league designed for girls and young women to compete against each other in a league of their own. Over the last few years, girls ball hockey has become very popular with teams in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts. We are looking to grow the game for all girls no matter the skill level.
We are actively recruiting players and women volunteers to help run the league as coaches, division representatives, board members and scorekeepers. We are also recruiting female referees as a paid position. The goal of the league is to have girls playing against level competition and to have all women running the league, making it a true girls league.
Games will be played from the Gloucester Township hockey rinks (3 outdoor dek rinks) at The Marge Martin Sports Complex, 430 Woodbury - Turnersville Rd, Blackwood, NJ 08012. Rinks are conveniently located near all major highways in New Jersey, Routes 42, 76, 55, Atlantic City Expressway, 295, and NJ Turnpike. We are also only 20 minutes from the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.
