Welcome to Owen Sound Girls Hockey (OSGH) where the Ice Hawks come to play!
About OSGH
Founded in 1995, Owen Sound Girls Hockey (OSGH) was established to support the first girls' hockey team in Owen Sound. Initially, the program consisted of a single "Intermediate" (U19) team, comprised of players aged 8 to 18—a common structure in the area at the time. Coaches skillfully matched lines to ensure players faced similar competition during games.
As the program grew, that pioneering team expanded into two teams with narrower age brackets. However, each team still played under their sponsor's name, without a unifying association name or logo. This changed in 2001 when the Intermediate players were given the opportunity to choose a team name for the following season. The Ice Hawks were born.
The 2002 season marked a significant milestone, featuring the first four Ice Hawks teams across Atom (U9), Peewee (U12), Bantam (U14), and Intermediate (U19) levels. That same year, the program achieved its first Provincial medal, earning Silver at the Intermediate "C" level.
Today, OSGH is a vibrant organization supporting hundreds of players from U7 to U22, offering opportunities from House League to the highest competitive divisions.
