Summer Skills and 3v3
We are mixing things up this summer to maximize the fun factor, while keeping our game and skating skills sharp.
The summer program will run mid July through mid August. Weeknight sessions will focus on puck skills and power skating, and Sunday sessions will focus on 3v3 half ice games for the U10s, U12/14s and cross ice games for U8s.
But this will be 3v3 like you've never played before! With rules designed to amp up the fun, and the competition. Goals will still earn one point, but backhanded goals are worth 2. Do something creative like shooting through the legs - 3 points. Goals after more than 3 passes - also 3 points. (See full rules below if you're intrigued.)
