Helpful Hockey Information

This tournament will bring together brothers and sisters of various ages and skill levels. Some skaters may have played extensive puck and stick and pickup but haven’t played with refs or full rules. Here are a few videos to help get you prepared. 

One difference is that we will be using blue-line icing vs red-line icing. This will keep the game moving more quickly. 

 

This is a no checking tournament.
