Loudoun and Fairfax counties in Virginia will co-host the 2025 USA Hockey Girls Tier II 16U National Championships from April 2­–6 as 28 teams from 16 states in the under-16 girls’ division will compete for a national title.

This is the first USA Hockey National Championship for girls to be held in the Washington D.C. area.  Ashburn Ice House in Ashburn, Virginia, and The St. James in Springfield, Virginia, will host competition.
