While ice hockey might not be a popular sport in Arizona, the AZ Kachinas are still making great progress.
"We have 17 teams this year," Fry said. "When we started we had nine."
The Kachinas and Fry have made progress on creating opportunities for these girls to continue playing past the club.
"A lot of these kids who are old enough, there wasn't a lot of opportunities seven or eight years ago. Now that we've been around for the last six years, they've seen the opportunities to play girls hockey at all levels."

Even with the great support from the organization and Fry, the girl's have been getting a lot of support from the families.
"It's been really cool seeing these families step up," Fry said. "It takes a village to make this happen. Not just me and a couple people, everyone has to contribute."
The hockey community in Arizona has always been supportive of every team, even the Coyotes, with their departure to Utah can be associated with ownership issues.
"The community would 100% get behind this team," Brian Hurley said.
The Coyotes and the NHL did help lesson the cost for parents, as the Coyotes helped donate money through the NHL Growth Fund.
But with that money is gone with the Coyotes departure, and the prices to pay increased.
"Our fees went from $6,000 to around $9,000," Hurley said.
But even with those fees increasing, parents are excited for the future as with out the Coyotes, they can fundraise themselves.
On Nov. 7, the Kachinas were able to hold a golf tournament in Mesa, which was able to bring a lot of money for the kids.
Even with the support of the community, Hurley believes that more work needs to be on representation.
Hurley said that if GCU got a D1 women's hockey team, and if ASU and University of Arizona got better programs, there would be more representation for the girls. And a new NHL team would increase the popularity and interest with potential players.
Ice hockey isn't the most popular sport in America, and even less so in Arizona. But the Kachinas and Fry have made great progress to get more girls in skates, and to keep them playing.
