LAST YEAR’S SCHEDULE

Hockey Night in Boston will conduct our annual Girls Central/West Festival, which will be held from June 17th – June 18th at the Worcester Ice Center – Worcester, MA. This Festival is for Girls entering their Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior year in the Fall (PGs at a Prep or Junior program are also eligible). This festival is primarily for girls from the Central/West Massachusetts region, as well as Connecticut, New York, Southern Vermont, and other players that want to participate in an HNIB festival but can’t attend any of the other regional festivals because of their schedule.

At the end of the girls’ festival, the HNIB coaching staff will select 35-40 players who will be invited to participate in the 29th Annual Girls Major Showcase.*

*HNIB will be pre-selecting several players who will receive automatic spots in the August showcase based on their play this past season. During the round-robin series in the Girls Central/West Festival, players will be evaluated by coaches on the bench and coaches observing off the ice to determine the 35-40 players who will move onto the Girls Major Showcase.

Fidelity Bank Worcester Ice Center (WIC) is a state of the art recreational facility for athletes of all ages conveniently located approximately one quarter mile off Route 290 at exit 14 and within 10 minutes of downtown Worcester.

The ice anchors are supported by over ten thousand square feet of two-stories of concessions/ lobby which enables players and patrons to enjoy food and drink during games and practices, as well as a pro shop that sells not only essential products such as laces and tape, body protection equipment and team apparel, but also skate sharpening services.

Our major tenants in the hockey rink are the Worcester Railers Hockey Club (ECHL), Worcester Blades(CWHL), Worcester State University, WPI, Worcester Academy, St Peter-Marian as well as the Junior Railers, and Worcester Railers JHC (EHL). The remaining ice time provides for youth hockey, figure skating, learn to skate programs, sport camps, training programs and adult league play.
