Lady Liberty, Affton Hockey’s all-female hockey program, is increasing its participation in the Northern Illinois Hockey League. For the 2023-24 season, Lady Liberty Elite will have teams at the 10U, 12U, 14U, and 16/19U age levels.

This high-level program is for girls interested in playing in a competitive environment with other all-girls teams from the Midwest. Lady Liberty Elite teams compete in an all-girls league as part of NIHL, the second largest youth hockey league in the US. This Chicago-based league is committed to providing a competitive and enjoyable hockey experience for players throughout Illinois and surrounding states. Lady Liberty Elite teams play games against other teams in NIHL as well as select local and out-of-town all-girl tournaments.

Lady Liberty Elite teams will have multiple on-ice practices weekly along with off-ice training including fitness, stick handling, and shooting. Practices begin in August and continue through March. Skills coaches will be used throughout the season based on availability and the needs of each team. Teams will receive goalie instruction throughout the season.
