TEAMS
The league includes more than 2,000 registered players and 100+ teams across 24 divisions & subdivisions.
If you've played for years or never laced up skates, the league is inclusive to players of all skill levels and works hard to have parity within each division while offering a fun and competitive environment.
To best build competitive, evenly balanced games, we begin with pre-season skill level evaluation skates. Following these sessions, we host a draft event where captains of teams needing new players select players. Play is regularly monitored and players and/or teams can move up or down in skill levels as needed to keep parity.
