Level of skill and length of experience have nothing to do with being able to play house league hockey; if you can register, you can play. Each player knows that he or she will enjoy equal ice time over the course of the season, and skills development proceeds at the individual player's pace.

The season runs for 6 months, roughly October to March inclusive indoors, and outdoor practices starting around December. It is during these outdoor practices-especially in the younger divisions-that every parent with a pair of skates soon discovers that they have become assistant/assistant/assistant coaches.

It is this body of parents who really form the lifeblood of the organization. There will always be children who want to play hockey. There will always be a core of coaches and volunteers, so in love with the game that they will go anywhere to be part of it. But the vast majority of the people who make this league work for our children are people who just want to do their small part to see that their children enjoy themselves in a safe and wholesome manner - people just like you.
