Hockey League for Kids
Hockey will begin October 2008 with a second league January 2009. Leagues will be offered for kids grades K-8. Register early as space will be limited. We will form teams according to grades and skill. The games could be played on different days depending on the grade level.

Teams will have a maximum of 13 players. Games will be approximately one hour including warm-ups. We use a 2 minute stop clock, changing lines every 2 minutes, making it easier for changes and give every player a chance to play.

Equipment Requirements :
Helmet, shin guards, elbow pads, protective cup, and gloves. You must have your own skates and hockey stick. Parents must wear a helmet if they are on the floor

Hockey Rental
The hockey floor is available to rent at $55 per hour. We will provide the hockey nets; you will need your own equipment, including helmet (w/face mask for kids). Skates are not available for rental. Please call 618-655-1460 X 243 and ask for John for reservations.
