We are thrilled to announce that team submissions are now open for the highly anticipated fourth annual CCM National Women’s Tournament returning to iceHQ 20th-23rd November 2025!

This tournament brings together players from across the country for a fun, competitive and inclusive celebration of women’s ice hockey. In 2025, we’re excited to introduce a second division to support players at different stages of their hockey journey.

Tier 2 Division

This division is for higher-level players who are not currently on an Australian Women’s Ice Hockey League (AWIHL) team and have not been on an AWIHL team in the last two seasons.

• AWIHL development and training squad players are eligible as long as they have not played any AWIHL games in the last two seasons. Please note this is a change from previous years eligibility rules.

• If you’re familiar with iceHQ, this division is suitable for players in Rec League Division 6 and above, or with equivalent skill/experience from other leagues or divisions.

• Any state representative in ice hockey or inline hockey must play in this division.

Rookie Division (New in 2025!)

This division is for newer or developing players who may not yet be at Tier 2 level. This allows more players to participate in a competitive environment suited to their stage of development, while preserving a higher standard of play in the Tier 2 division.

• Aimed at newer or developing players who aren’t yet at the Tier 2 level.

• If you’re familiar with iceHQ, This may include players from Division 7 or below. Some players in Rec League Division 7-8 will be required to play Tier 2. Any player currently in division 9 & 10 should be playing in this division.

• If there is any uncertainty around a player’s suitability for this division, we expect team managers to contact iceHQ with relevant player experience and, where possible, provide footage.

• Players who are too skilled for the Rookie Division may be removed from their team to ensure fairness and competitive balance.

Both divisions are open to all female-identifying and non-binary players aged 14 and over. No player can play in two teams or divisions.
