Summer Hockey

The summer hockey season for 2024/2025 will begin on October 15, with 9 weeks of competition prior to Christmas. All competitions will resume in February for the last 4 weeks of the season, making 13 weeks of hockey in total.

  • Tuesday Nights: U12, U14, U17 at Stead Park
  • Wednesday Nights: Senior Mixed at Stead Park
  • Thursday Nights: U8, U10 & 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.

How can you join a team?
