This month, we published The Pitch’s annual Best of Kansas City issue. You can browse the results of the readers’ poll here. The issue also included a list, compiled and written by our editorial staff, of some of our current favorite things about Kansas City in 2023. We’ll be publishing these items online throughout November. 

Since formally incorporating as a league in May of 2022, the Kansas City Women’s Hockey League has provided women throughout the metro the opportunity to find themselves and gain confidence while learning a new sport. Team leaders focus their efforts on creating a supportive environment for new players so women of any skill level feel empowered to play. While there are games against local men’s recreation teams and other women’s teams across the region, the KCWHL isn’t about winning. Instead, it’s about developing skills and a love of hockey. The league encourages and accepts new members at any time of the year. Practices and scrimmages run on Saturdays at 5 p.m. at the Line Creek Community Center, with games and other learning opportunities set throughout the schedule.
