The team currently receives funding from the Hockey Canada Foundation through grants which enables it to run a grassroots development program.

[1] The team participated in its first International Paralympic Committee-sanctioned international competition, the 2014 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey Women's International Cup[citation needed] now known as the Para Ice Hockey Women's World Challenge[2][3] (a World Para Ice Hockey sanctioned event) whose inaugural year was in 2022.

The Ontario Women's Hockey Association began to develop women's ice sledge hockey players in 2008 (at about the same time that the United States started to develop a program).

The first ever IPC Ice Sledge Hockey Women's International Cup was the 2014 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey Women's International Cup which took place from November 7–9, 2014 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.

[6] As the team does not receive overall funding under Hockey Canada, many players participate at their own expense.
