2025 Fall Women's Draft League

ABOUT THE DRAFT LEAGUE

This Women’s Draft League is open to players of all skill levels. Teams are formed through a draft-style format, ensuring each team has a balanced mix of experience and talent, creating a fun and competitive atmosphere. It’s ideal for women who may not have a regular team, want to play an extra night during the week, or are looking to meet new people and grow within the sport. We are just getting this off the ground and are hoping to get two teams to start the inaugural season. Our future goal here in the IAHL is to get a women's division where both veterans and beginners and 

HOW IT WORKS

• When registering for the Draft League (DL), players will be required to list their skill level, the number of years playing the sport, and if they would like to be a team captain.
• Once registration for the league has closed a lottery will take place to select the team captains (from all that indicated they would like to captain a team).
• DL will hold it's Draft Night, where all players will participate in an organized scrimmage conducted by the Iceplex Hockey staff. 
• Each of the team captains will observe the scrimmage, as a means of observing all of the players available for the draft. 
• Immediately following the scrimmage, the DL will conduct an organized draft where each team captain will read off their rosters.
• Once completed, the team rosters will be announced, as well as the team names, which each team captain will be allowed to select (either by themselves or with consultation from their new teammates).  
• Jerseys will then be handed out to each team, which are provided by the DL for all players to use for the season, and keep at the conclusion of the season.
• The DL will be restricted in not only player skill, but also in the number of teams competing (no more than four total).  Each team will have no less than 11 players per roster (10 players and 1 goaltender), but no more than 15 players (14 players and 1 goaltender).
• The regular season will consist of 6 games, and upon completion, the top two teams will play in a championship game, with the other teams playing a consolation game.
