Queen of Hearts

At NISHL, our mission is to ensure every girl has the opportunity to play, grow and be part of a positive hockey experience. 

The Queen of Hearts Tournament is a reflection of that mission, where players are seen, heard, valued and chosen.

  • Who will wear the crown? 
  • Who will lead with heart and earn the sportsmanship scepter for your team?
  • Who will rise to the moment and be chosen as MVP for your team?
