A new pickup ice hockey league for girls ages 10 to 14 is giving middle school players across Northern Virginia a chance to compete in an all-girls setting at Haymarket Iceplex.
The NOVA Girls Ice Hockey Pickup League, founded by Warrenton physician Dr. Christopher Chang and coach Kara Given of A and K On Ice Coaching, runs sessions of five to 10 full-regulation games with referees. Games take place at the rink at 15155 Washington St. in Haymarket. Organizers balance teams by skill level each week so beginners, intermediate and advanced players all get equal ice time. Full gear is required, and at least one year of recreational team hockey experience is needed.

A Haymarket author will sign copies of his new book about the St. Louis Cardinals’ first World Series championship from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday at Aroma II Wine, 14871 Washington St. in Haymarket.
Terry Lemons’ “The Year St. Louis Became a Baseball Town: The Cardinals, Babe Ruth, & The 1926 World Series” was published June 9 by Arcadia Publishing’s The History Press. The 192-page book examines how the Cardinals’ 1926 upset of Babe Ruth’s New York Yankees and the celebrations, radio broadcasts, and fan energy that followed turned St. Louis into a lasting baseball town. Lemons, a St. Louis native who later worked as a White House reporter and spent 25 years leading communications for the Internal Revenue Service in Washington, said the championship created traditions still felt today.

NOVA Life, a new wellness and recovery center offering science-backed, non-invasive therapies, celebrated its official opening with a ribbon cutting on Thursday, July 9, 2026, in the Haymarket/Gainesville area of Prince William County.
“America’s trails connect people to the outdoors, strengthen local communities and showcase the natural beauty and history that define our nation,” Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said in a news release, InsideNova reported. “These new designations expand opportunities for recreation, stewardship and exploration while helping ensure future generations can experience the landscapes and waterways that make America extraordinary.”
The U.S. Department of the Interior designated the free, 7-mile Leopold’s Preserve Trail System in western Prince William County as one of five new National Recreation Trails. The 380-acre preserve west of Haymarket features wetlands, meadows, forests, historic landscapes and more than 30 interpretive signs.
