We finally have it!

If you are looking to play this Fall / Winter in the C or D league, you can begin getting your team together or register as an individual.

The form with all info is available at at our site (of course).

In brief summary, this will be the biggest & best C & D league ever. Based on feedback and interest, we are anticipating 10 C league teams. This requires us to play on 2 nights. 4 teams will play on Sunday and 6 teams will play on Wednesdays. You will only play on your designated night.

We have added Paid Refs to insure order as well as substitution & roster rules to make sure the league is fair & competitive.

Please spread the word to your friends, teammates, etc and lets get this league going!

Adult Travel Hockey ???

Why should kids have all the fun of playing travel hockey? They get to go away for a weekend, stay at hotels, eat out, hang with friends and play hockey. Sound like a great life right?

I had the opportunity to play in an Adult Tournament in Davenport, IA just a few months ago and had a blast. Hanging out with other hockey players, socializing, telling stories, etc. Although most of us have other responsibilities (aka jobs), we cannot do this every weekend, but adults need to take advantage of tournaments that are put on all over the country.

A group of us has already gotten together to register for a recreational tournament in Las Vegas. Approx 12 of us will be heading out in April next year representing Des Moines, IA in a 4 day tourney that guarantees 4 games and alot of fun. After all, it is Las Vegas.

I have had many other players ask about this event and although our team is full, there is no reason why others cannot form teams for this event or any other event. Some of the places that host these can be found at:

They will place your team into a level that will make it fun and competitive.

So grab a group of your friends, get some practice ice time and go for a hockey getaway with friends!
