How many players are on a team?

Youth and adult league teams are made up of 9 players and a goalie when possible.

Average practice and game time is one hour. Example of youth schedule for 17 week season is as follows: first two weeks will include 4 practices; normally one practice on Saturday mornings and one practice on Monday or Tuesday evenings. After first two weeks, you have one game per week normally on Saturday mornings. Last practice and game on Saturday mornings ends by 12:30 pm. There is a Free practice once a week for the youth divisions.

Adults play in evenings only and have no practices. Games take place from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm on either Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.

Hockey clinic for new skaters to the league is free

All new skaters to the league have the opportunity to attend a FREE hockey clinic prior to evaluations and start of the new season. The clinic is for all ages (youth and adult). The clinic is conducted by one of our certified coaches and gives new players the opportunity to get a feel of the surface, what equipment is necessary and how it should be worn, rules and hockey drills which they may be asked to do during evaluations and first practices. We also have our head referee talk to the players about penalties.

The clinic is to help you feel more comfortable and give you a basic idea about hockey before your first practice and game. 

The clinic takes place at Roller King generally four to seven weeks before the league starts. Take advantage of this opportunity because it is helpful and a lot of fun.
