Cost

$360 per player
Includes all league fees, referees, and a reversible jersey. (You will choose a jersey size during registration. Please review the size chart below. We recommend measuring the last jersey your player used and comparing it to the size chart.)

Jerseys will be distributed at your first skate. Jersey numbers are assigned randomly.

Important Requirements:

• Players must have previous skating experience.
• Players must be able to stand on their own and get on/off the ice independently.
• Learn to Skate opportunities will be offered this summer and fall.

Game Times:

• Weekdays: 4:15 p.m.–10:05 p.m.
• Weekends: 8 a.m.–9:50 p.m.
• High School 3v3 will likely take the earliest weekday slot (4:15 p.m.).
• Adult League and High School Boys/Girls will likely play the latest slot (9:15 p.m.).
• Younger ages typically receive earlier game times.
• Game dates and times will be released shortly after team formation on February 15, 2026.

Game Format

3v3:
Three skaters and a goalie on the ice at one time. More open ice means more touches, better decision-making, and faster skill development.

4v4:
Adds one more skater on the ice per side, balancing space and competition—ideal for younger players transitioning into full-ice play.
