Arrowhead High School is the first high school in Southeast Wisconsin to offer varsity ice hockey to girls at the WIAA level. Our program continues to grow and improve because of hard-working players with positive attitudes, knowledgeable coaches, and great fans. This, backed by supportive parents, the school administration, and local business boosters, along with the on-campus Mullett Ice Center add up to a successful program.
We would like to give special thanks to the local business, friends, families and neighbors for their contributions to AHS girls' Hockey. We encourage you to patronize our local business establishments.
