About

Our Mission

Asian Canadian Girls Hockey Association (ACGHA), is a network of community members who envision a game of hockey where we realize our full potential and leverage our prominence to invest in future generations while empowering and advancing the Asian women's hockey community.

Our mission is to promote, inspire and nurture a passion for the game of women's hockey within the Asian community. Our work will be supported by three pillars: sustainable mentorship that fosters close bonds between established and emerging leaders; programming which educates the public on the challenges faced by Asian women in sports and spotlights success stories in which Asian women in hockey have triumphed.  Centered on these three pillars ACGHA is an investment into the power and potential of future Asian women's hockey. Due to cultural differences, misconceptions and stereotypes, Asian female players may face obstacles in reaching their full potential in the game of hockey. However, there are many Asian women hockey players who are making profound contributions but are not being fully recognized. It is our goal to feature these influential women on our platform. Through promoting and programming, we aim to create an enabling ecosystem whereby Asian women hockey players are elevated, and their example can inspire the next generation.
