Safety is at the heart of our Adult Hockey League. While hockey is a contact sport, our rules are designed to keep the game fun, fair, and safe for everyone on the ice. From strict “no checking or fighting” policies to limits on slapshots, player goal caps, and clear penalty guidelines, every regulation is in place to protect players while maintaining a competitive edge. Our goal is simple: create an exciting league atmosphere where players can compete hard, respect one another, and enjoy the game they love.
Please read our 2026 Rules and Regulations Guide carefully before participating.
