The NHLCA is proud to collaborate with WeCOACH to further develop female hockey coaches and diversify the current pool of hockey coaches. Members of the NHLCA Female Coaches Program will be provided with an annual membership to WeCOACH to continue their personal and professional development, network with other female coaches and gain access to a wide array of resources offered through their member portal.
ABOUT WeCOACH
Founded in 2011, WeCOACH is a one-of-a-kind 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to recruiting, advancing, and retaining women coaches in all sports and levels through year-round professional growth & leadership development programs. Prior to Title IX, over 90% of women’s collegiate sports teams were coached by women. Today, over 50 years later, the data indicates that number has decreased to 41% across all three NCAA Divisions, with only 7% women head coaches of color. Only 5% women coach men’s teams. At the youth level, the data is hard to estimate, approximately less than 20% of teams are coached by women. WeCOACH launched MOVE the NUMBERS in 2022 to help change the landscape for women coaches and the student-athletes they lead. If she can see her, she can be her.
