League Hockey

WACH League Regular Season

PPWHF is a member of the Women's Association of Colorado Hockey (WACH)! WACH is a state-wide travel league comprised of more than 35 teams across eight divisions. The season typically runs from October to April.

Each August, PPWHF holds Team Formation sessions for all registered players in preparation of upcoming season. During these sessions, players participate in a series of skating and hockey drills, followed by a short scrimmage. Coaches use these evaluations to determine the number of teams the organization can field and to place players on the team that best matches their current skill level, development, and team chemistry.

After Team Formation, players are offered a roster spot on a specific team. Players who are not offered a spot on one of our competetive teams are welcome to join our developmental team (Dire Wolves), where they can continue to build their skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.

For the 2026-2027 season, the PPWHF will have 4 teams playing in the WACH league - Silverwolves (A), Timberwolves (B1), Arcticwolves (C) and Graywolves (D). Each division team plays 10-16 regular season games and competes in the WACH State Tournament.

Each team has volunteer coaches dedicated to helping their players grow and improve on the ice for every game. Every season has roughly 13 practices. For information about our 4 division teams click a drop down option below!

Silverwolves (A Division)

The Silverwolves (SW) play in the WACH A Division. Most SWs are strong intermediate- to advanced-level players. These players may have played NCAA Division I or III or any other higher level of women's hockey. Players at this level have extensive hockey experience and are accustomed to playing a fast game using well-refined hockey skills.

The SW maintain a competitive approach to hockey and may implement "special teams" and "plays" during the game while focusing on fun, developing as a team.

Timberwolves (B1 Division)

The Timberwolves (TW) play in the WACH B1 Division. Most players are generally high-intermediate in skill level players. These players may have played varsity high school or non-varsity college (ACHA) levels or may have 10+ years of women’s adult hockey playing experience. Players at this level may have played ice hockey as children. A few of the players at this level may be considered “advanced” and have played NCAA

Division I or III or any other higher level of women’s hockey, but the majority of the team is considered high-intermediate level. Players at this level are able to play a faster game safely and can execute integrated hockey plays that utilize strong hockey skills.

Arcticwolves (C Division)

The Arcticwolves (AW) play in the WACH C Division. AW's are primarily lower-intermediate level players. Some of these players may have played non-varsity college levels, but the team is predominantly players with 5-9 years of playing experience as an adult, some with more than 10 years experience. Players at this level have a strong hockey sense and have foundational skills firmly in place.

Graywolves (D Division)

The Graywolves (GW) play in WACH D Division. GWs are generally low-intermediate to novice level adult players. Many GWs have 1-5 years hockey experience, with some hockey veterans with more than 10 years player experience. GWs are focused on honing in their hockey sense and refining their foundational skills.

FAQs

I'm interested in joining a team, but not sure I can commit to a full season...What are my options?

That's great, we look forward to joining you on the ice in any capacity that works for! PPWHF has different participation levels to help accommodate all budgets and schedules. Our current player options include:

Core Players commit to participating to participating in the majority of practices and games and pay a set fee for the season.

If you would like to discuss the best option for you, contact a PPWHF Board Member or email ppwhf.wolves@gmail.com.

How are Team Determinations made?

Volunteer coaches determine team compositions based on their player evaluations at Team Formation, practices, friends and family games, and previous Wolves participation.

What is Team Formation?

Team Formation is held every August and is the Wolves "tryouts." During Team Formation, players participate in a series of skating and hockey drills, followed by a short scrimmage. Coaches use these evaluations to determine the number of teams the organization can field and to place players on the team that best matches their current skill level, development, and team chemistry. All abilities are welcome and it's completely free!

What if I'm unable to attend/miss Team Formation, but want to be rostered on a team?

No worries! Please complete your PPWHF registration and RSVP "no" to Team Formation. We will work with you to find another time to be evaluated by coaches such as a practice or Friends & Family game. If we are unable to find a time that works between Team Formation and the start of WACH Games, coaches will roster you based on previous playing experience to get started, and will reevaluate during the season to make sure you're playing at the most appropriate skill level.

When and where are WACH Games played?

The WACH regular season runs Mid-October through March with a State Tournament the first or second weekend in April.

WACH Games take place across the state with half of the games played at Home (World Arena) and the other half played across Pueblo, Denver, Ft. Collins, Greeley and Steamboat Springs. Typically, each team will have one overnight trip to Ft.Collins/Greeley/Steamboat Springs and the remainder of the away games will be played in the Denver metro area.
