2. Can you define your levels of play?

  • A Division Highly skilled hockey players who have played junior, college, semi-pro and pro hockey and others who have played at a serious competitive level.
  • B Division Very skilled hockey players playing at a high level
  • C Division In general, players that take the ice for fun, exercise and excitement. Typically our largest division of hockey players.
  • D Division For players with lesser defined skating and stick skills but enjoy playing in a competitive setting.
  • Over 40 Competitive This league plays at an unexpectedly high level. Extremely competitive players over 40 years of age.
  • Over 40 Rec For players over 40 years of age that desire a recreational atmosphere with little to no emphasis on winning or losing. Recommended for the novice or non-competitive player.
  • Ankle Benders For new players with no playing experience. A totally FUN experience for those just starting their hockey career!

B, C and D divisions are broken down into several levels for refinement of skill and ability. (ie., C-1 is a higher level than C-2, C-2 is a higher level than C-3, etc.)

3. How do I know what division I should be playing in?

  • We strongly recommend you visit the Ice Centre and watch games in the league / division that you suspect you should join.
  • Do not over estimate your skills! Do not put yourself in a situation where you think you ll improve if you skate with a team that exceeds your skill level. This theory rarely applies in adult hockey.
  • On the other hand, ringers (players with high ability playing in a lower league) are not allowed.
