Welcome to the Women's Association of Colorado Hockey. The League is divided into five divisions and follows the established definitions of USA Hockey ability levels.

Level A (formerly A1, adapted from: USA Hockey Women Gold) Team is comprised primarily of high-intermediate and advanced level players. These players may have played NCAA Division I or III or any other higher level of women’s hockey. Players at this level have extensive hockey experience and are accustomed to playing a fast game using well-refined hockey skills.

Level B (formerly A2, adapted from: USA Hockey Women Silver) Team is comprised primarily of high-intermediate level players. These players may have played varsity high school or non-varsity college (ACHA) levels or may have 10+ years of women’s adult hockey playing experience.  Players at this level may have played ice hockey as children.  A few of the players at this level may be considered “advanced” and have played NCAA Division I or III or any other higher level of women’s hockey, but the majority of the team is considered high-intermediate level.  Players at this level are able to play a faster game safely and can execute integrated hockey plays that utilize strong hockey skills.

Level C (formerly B1, adapted from: USA Hockey Women Bronze) Team is comprised primarily of lower-intermediate level players. Some of these players may have played non-varsity college levels, but the team is predominantly players with 5-9 years of playing experience as an adult, some may have 10+ years of adult hockey experience. Players at this level have a strong hockey sense and have foundational skills firmly in place. 

Level D (formerly B2, adapted from: USA Hockey Women Beginner) ​  ​​Team is entirely comprised of novice and low-intermediate level adult players. Although a small number of players may have 10+ years of beginner adult experience, a portion of the team often consists of adult players with 1-5 years of entry
level playing experience.  The players at this level are learning about the flow of the game and solidifying hockey sense and foundational skills.

Level E (Developmental) ​ Team is entirely comprised entirely of  novice level adult players. The team consists of adult players with 0-5 years of entry level playing experience.
