The Junior Women's Hockey League is an ice hockey league established in 2007 by Bill Driscoll and Kush Sidhu, coaches of North American Hockey Academy and the Washington Pride, respectively, in order to provide opportunities for young females to develop into collegiate student-athletes.
Over 20 JWHL players have skated for the U.S., Canadian, Czech, and Japanese Under-18 National teams.
The JWHL was developed to bring together teams that regularly produce NCAA calibre players.
All teams also compete in the JWHL Challenge Cup (see below).
Following the regular season, a playoff is held to determine the JWHL Champion.
