The Time of Champions is almost here!

The WNHL is ready to launch into their new season starting very soon. Here is some crucial dates for all those amazing WNHL Athletes out there……

  • Wednesday September 1st – WNHL Prospects Game – 4 new rookies try to show their stuff with some of the WNHL Finest before the Draft
  • Wednesday September 15th – WNHL Draft 2021-2022 – Our teams will be picked for the new season at 8pm at the Rex Hotel in Welland
  • Wednesday September 22nd – WNHL Season Opener at the Pelham and Welland Arenas

NEW UPDATE – Last year we introduced the “Game of the Month” where we recorded the game and each team picked a charity to play for and the winning team got the funds from both teams for their charity. We will be doing that again this season but it called the WNHL Super Sunday. Each team will have one Super Sunday at the Meridian Centre in St.Catharines with big music, big ice and under the big lights with the cameras rolling. These games will be on your schedule far in advance so you can clear your schedule. All games will be edited for highlights from our crack team of Scottie 2 Time, Fabby and Paco. The charity element will still be included in the Super Sundays.
