K-W RANGERS 2012-13
Introduction
The Vision of the WGMHA was to create a Kitchener-Waterloo community based,
not-for-profit hockey club giving opportunity for local female talent to play at the
highest level of women’s hockey. With the intensely competitive level of hockey
seen in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), we have achieved just that.
On September 27th 2008, Kitchener-Waterloo made history with the launch of the
inaugural season of the K-W Rangers Jr. Women’s Hockey Club. Aside from this
being our inaugural season plus the many on-ice successes, we are particularly
proud of the twenty four graduating players over the past four years that have
been offered scholarships to Canadian and American universities and colleges!
Quite an accomplishment for this young hockey program.
Robert Hennig
K-W Rangers - President
WGMHA - President and Founder
The team also contributes to the community through fundraising for the Canadian
Breast Cancer Foundation, the Waterloo Ravens Hockey special events and
player/coach mentoring programs.
We must mention our team’s sponsoring partners, without whom we could not
have enjoyed the success that we have had so far - the Waterloo Girls’ Minor
Hockey Association; our naming sponsor, OHL Kitchener Rangers; and M & M
Meat Shops. To all other sponsors who contributed financially to the K-W Rangers,
thank you very much!
The K-W Rangers have a clear mandate at hand to:
• Build the best women’s hockey program in the PWHL
• Develop and prepare the players for their next level of play
• Have an emphasis on educational development
• Create community partnership and involvement
• Follow the WGMHA mandate:
“For the Kids, For the Game and For the Fun of it.”
The K-W Rangers are utilizing the “Player First Philosophy”, developed by the
OHL Kitchener Rangers, as part of our overall mandate. We are striving to create an
“equal opportunity, community based” program that will allow local female
hockey players an opportunity to compete at an elite level within the PWHL.
Our mandate above is the foundation on which this hockey program is built. It
will never be changed or compromised, now, or in the future, as it represents the
very core of this unique, female hockey program.
