The "available ice" link provides a good guide
to determine when a sheet or two might be available. Whether it is for practice, a get together
with friends or a Team Building effort; contact us to finalize details and to book. There are
usually sheet(s) available daytime (morning or afternoon). Larger groups such as a corporate event
or a Team Building can usually be handled in the afternoon. Saturday or Sunday ice is scarce
but with planning can be accomodated.

Day-Time

We have Senior mens' leagues playing at 11:05
AM (Mon>Thur). While they typically recruit the 60+ age group, younger players have been
accepted. Before them and most afternoons, we have Womens'
leagues (Tuesday an exception, a mixed gender league). Friday afternoon has a Masters (60+)
competitive league which runs from October through to early February.

After Work

We have three Corporate based
leagues (Mon, Wed & Thur) which from time to time will accept players or even a team.
Friday is fully occupied by our Junior program. Tuesday is currently not used regularly except for
practice and corporate events.

Evening

6:50 PM & 9:00 PM

The Club manages the weeknight evening leagues.
Most accomodate 24 teams alternating between the two times each week. Monday, Tuesday and
Friday are "open" leagues (mixed gender). Thursday is Mens' night (although Mon & Tue are
predominately Mens' teams as well). Wednesday is an anomaly having two 12 team leagues alternating
times (Womens' and Mens). Entry is primarily by teams although singles can usually be
placed on a team; or play as a spare.

Weekend
|
Varies
|
There are leagues all day, both days.
Most are social leagues willing to accept anyone, even rank beginners. Saturday evening (7:00
& 9:00 PM) follows the Mixed (alternating gender) format. Teams play weekly in a
rotation of early, late, off. Teams or couples are welcomed.

Fri/Tue

Our junior program accepts youngsters (8 - 20
y) in our Friday program with instruction all season. The younger ones use
"Lite Rocks" for an hour. The more competitive teams can practice on Tuesday at 4:30 PM
provided the ice is pre-booked. We will also entertain some playing in our evening
leagues. Development funding is also available upon application.
