All players who submit an online application will be vetted prior to Acceptance into the league to ensure they meet the minimum playing requirements and to ensure appropriate levels of competition and safety for all players. Once accepted you will receive an official Acceptance email to notify you of your selection.
Game Times & Schedule:
Once again in 2025, all weekday and weekend games are on the same day, at the same time and at the same facility - every week! All weekday games will be held on Thursday and all weekend games will be held on Sunday, see games times for each day shown below:
Thursday game times:
Rink 1: 7:30-8:45pm
Rink 2: 7:10-8:25pm & 8:35-9:50pm
Sunday game times:

Games:
Each team will participate in 2 games per week between June 8 and July 27. All games will be 75-minutes long and consist of a 5-minute warm-up and two (2), 30-minute running time periods. All games will be refereed by a CIHRA-certified referee and will play according to USA Hockey Junior rules. That being said, for the safety of the players, we will be playing normal icing rules, not hybrid icing rules utilized at the Junior level.
Team Coaches:
Each team will have an assigned coach on the bench for all games.
Assigned Teams:
All registered and accepted players will be randomly assigned to a team prior to the start of the event. For example, the total number of AAA players will be added up, sorted alphabetically, and then assigned to each team in a 1, 2, 3 fashion. After that, the same protocol will be used to assign the AA players and High School Varsity players.
It is in the best interest of the league, and the players, to provide even teams, and to promote the highest level of competition as possible. That being said, and in the spirit of the league, we are allowing small groups of friends to sign up and play together*.
Each team will consist of a max of 9 Forwards, 6 Defenseman and 2 Goaltenders with equal ice time afforded to all players in every game. Assigned team rosters will be published by Monday, June 2.
* To make a request to play on the same team, all players in the group must add the names of the players in said group into the Team Request field on their individual registration forms. We will do our best to accommodate all requests, but, to ensure parity, we cannot place more than 5 players from one group on the same team.
Game Rules:
The league will utilize USA Hockey Junior hockey rules for all games. Please see official League Rules page for more details.
Physicality:
This is rub out hockey only. We will be talking to the kids the first day, and coaches will be reminding players weekly. This is off season hockey where we can keep our feet moving and enjoy the game without getting hurt. If there are kids pushing the physical play they will get a warning from the officials first, but if it continues the player will be removed from the game, and then the league, without refund.
