High School 3 on 3 League

Our High School 3 on 3 League is designed for the travel level player who is looking for an opportunity to play a highly competitive, yet FUN brand of hockey in the spring. We try to create a relaxed, stress-free, pond hockey style of play. One of the highlights for players is that we don’t allow coaches on the bench, this way the guys can just go out and “play” and have some fun! It’s end to end, fast paced hockey, with lots of ice time, and lots of scoring! Teams play double headers, all on Sunday’s to avoid High School spring sports.

The BLUE level program is geared toward the older player that usually has more than one year of Varsity experience. These players generally fall in the 15-18 year old range, or 10^th-12^th grade. The BLUE level generally includes many of the area’s top High School players each year.

The RED level is aimed at competitive travel level players that are between the ages of 13 and 16, or 8^th-11^th grades. This level generally includes players with some JV or Varsity experience.

There are instances where it is appropriate for a player to play in a division outside of the recommendations based on skill level. The league will make those determinations to properly balance each league.
