Pond Hockey Program

Spring 3 on 3 Pond Hockey League Introduction

3 on 3 Pond Hockey League

Spring 2014 Monday-Friday

Pond Hockey is a fast paced, full ice hockey game played with small numbers of players. This ensures that each participant gets lots of ice, a good workout and a vast amount of development in his/her game play. There is 2 leagues currently set up for the South and West sides of Calgary (unfortunately the North location <Cardel Place> is shutting down for late spring and will not be available for league participation). The arenas being utilized for each individual league are:

South League: City of Calgary Facilities

West League: Springbank

The focus of the pond hockey league will be to advance their hockey skills

through innovative coaching and provide a fun, social and family

atmosphere for all. The basis of development for each of the Top Guns 3

on 3 pond hockey teams will be a blend of practice and league play

between April and the end of June. Each ice time will consist of a

10-minute WARMUP, followed by a fast paced 3 on 3 Pond hockey league

game.

The rules of our 3 on 3 Pond Hockey League support the philosophy of

continuous play, fast aggressive skating, fast puck movement, individual

player creativeness and great goaltender showdowns.

On busy days when schedules with other sports occur send a friend to

play pond hockey for you!

Program consists of:

11 skaters (RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPPLYING BACKUP IF SICK)
1 goaltender (RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPPLYING BACKUP IF SICK)

of 3 on 3 Pond Hockey Game
