Summer Hockey

The summer hockey season for 2022/2023 will begin on October 10, with 10 weeks of competition prior to Christmas. The Under 8 competition will finish on December  12, but the remaining competitions will come back for another 4 weeks in February.

  • Monday Nights: U8 and U10 at Stead Park
  • Tuesday Nights: U12, U14, U17 at Stead Park
  • Wednesday Nights: Senior Mixed at Stead Park
  • Thursday Nights: Mixed Masters at Stead Park
  • Friday Nights: Friendly & Family at Stead Park

Summer hockey is the ideal time to #HaveAGo at hockey as the focus is on having fun while keeping active. The games are half field with 7 players per team, so it’s a great environment for those who are beginning their hockey experience, or for those who are returning to the game after some time away.
