The Alberta Junior Female Hockey League is very excited to announce this year's (2022-2023) League Award winners! It’s been an incredible season, and we appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this league over the last year. From players to coaches to volunteers, the AJFHL would not be this up leveled version without all of your dedication. We would like to send our gratitude to everyone who has been involved in the league so far, and specifically the league awards this year.
Over the course of the last three years, we understand the impact the pandemic has had on not just our league, but other community sporting leagues all across our country. We are strong believers that indulging in passions and hobbies such as sports brings joy and builds stronger life resilience. We are honoured to provide this opportunity to youth in our province, and as we wrap up this season, we can’t help but reflect on how far we’ve come as a league and community all together. Thank you for being here, and we look forward to seeing you next season!
