Last season over 575 players participated in our house league. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for friendly competition, promote good sportsmanship, team play, skill development, love of hockey and of course social interaction both on the ice and in the stands. As result we have an equal ice time policy entitling all players regardless of skill level to equal ice time to the greatest extent possible.

SAFETY & UNIFORMS: Safety concerns are paramount in hockey. It is mandatory that protective equipment be worn at all times. No player will be allowed on the ice without full C.S.A. approved equipment, including a BNQ neck guard and a full face mask. All players will receive a team sweater and matching socks.

EQUALIZATION TRADES: In order to promote participation and fun we try to ensure that the house league teams are as even as possible. Accordingly we reserve the right to trade players between teams, in a manner designed to achieve a competitive balance. We try to conclude trades before the December break.

TEAM REQUESTS: We occasionally receive requests for a player to be placed on the same team as another player. Such requests often make it difficult to balance the teams initially or to make appropriate trades. Carpool considerations will apply only to registrants who must travel great distances to reach the arena.

GOALIES: Unfortunately we often have more goalies than teams, with the result that some goalies must share the workload. Prospective goalies must be prepared to share goaltending duties. If numbers permit sharing goalies may at the option of the league be permitted to play out during their "off weeks". Note: Goalies at the Atom level and above are expected to provide their own equipment. Goalie equipment will be provided for Squirt and Novice Division goalies.

ATTENDANCE: Players who miss more than three games owing to conflicting commitments (e.g. other sports or activities) may risk suspension without refund. Such players may also be denied re-registration for the following season, so that more dedicated players will get the opportunity to play. Select players who neglect their commitment to House League will not be allowed to play in Select games.

PRESEASON HOCKEY SKILLS: A skills program for Squirts, Novices, and possibly Atoms, subject to availability, will be offered, starting in September. An e-mail fully explaining the program and application form will be sent out by separate mailing during the summer.

PRACTICES: For players in the Squirt, Novice and Atom Divisions we offer Sunday morning skill sessions throughout the season. Due to ice time constraints there is limited time available for team practices for house league teams.
