Wild Women Back In Training


The Widnes Wild Women’s team are starting back in training as they prepare for the 2026/27 WNIHL league season.

They are holding two open training sessions over two weeks and any new players who wish to try out for the team are invited to attend.

The sessions will be held at Planet Ice Widnes on Tuesday 18th August from 8.45 to 9.45pm and Tuesday 25th August from 9.30 to 10.30pm and will cost £15 per player per session.

Interested parties are asked to book their place at the trial sessions by contacting the Wild Women via Facebook / Instagram or by email to widneswildwomen@gmail.com

Players with higher league or international experience are especially welcome.

The final make up of the Women’s league for the new season has yet to be confirmed but there are expected to be some new teams competing in the WNIHL North divisions.

The Manchester Storm club are planning to run a second team to act as development pathway for their first team, who had a successful debut in Division 2 North last season, while Deeside Dragons have announced that they will be running a new women’s team to complement the Under 16 girls team that has run for the past two seasons under former Wild Women player and captain Emma Pearson.
