Playing outdoor sports is a great way for our children to keep fit and healthy. Players sign up individually, but can also identify one friend they wish to play with. No skating skills or previous ice hockey experience is required as all games are played in running shoes. Each player will play a minimum of 14 games over the three month season.
All games are played at our local facilities and you can choose from seasons that start in March, June, September, or a Winter season that begins in December for the diehard outdoor player.
