Cross Ice Hockey League: Cross-ice hockey is specifically designed for players 9 and under and provides fast results in the most enjoyable environment available. Cross-ice hockey is a system whereby skaters play the game along one-third of the width of the rink rather than the full length. The reduced playing area increases the players' need to move faster and gain better control of the puck, and the players receive more touches of the puck than in a full-ice game. The program is designed for children ages 9 years and under. Teams consist of roughly eight players and participate in a 3–on–3 game lasting one hour.
Low player–to–coach ratios further guarantee instruction from our dedicated volunteer coaches. Games are played on both ends of the rink, and coaches are able to individually instruct those skaters not playing in the center ice area. Participants must have completed Hockey 2 or a comparable class to be eligible for the Cross Ice Hockey League.

Program Highlights & FAQ's
Q: How do I determine my son/daughters “hockey age”?
A: Anyone who is doesn't turn age 14 by May 5,
Q: Who makes the determination on team placements?
A: The director and coaches will make the decisions during evaluations. Players will be placed in the division in which their skill level is best suited for. Our goal is to have each child playing where they will be challenged but not put their safety or enthusiasm for the sport of hockey in jeopardy.
Q: Will ice time be equal?
A: Each player will receive an equitable amount of ice time. Please be mindful that it is not possible to achieve EXACT ice time, particularly if there is an odd number of players a given game. Any concerns should be brought to the director's attention.
Q: Is full equipment required?
A: Yes, full equipment is required; including mouth guard.
Q: Will checking be allowed during in-house games?
A: No
Q: How are coaches selected?
A: They volunteer. Most coaches are parents of players, some have played competitive hockey others have not. Please give them the respect they deserve for volunteering.
