Playing with Friends
You can register as an individual or with friends
Our leagues encourage players to join with friends and create groups!
You can register to play on the same team as friends in small, medium or large groups.
However, if a group is deemed to strong based on the skill of others in their age category, the league will do what it deems best to try and make the league as balanced as possible.
Here are some scenarios and options for larger skilled groups.
1. The age category appears to be similiar in skill set. Players from this large/skilled group can all play together.
2. Players of this large skilled group are too strong for the age category. Players of this group would be offered to stay together and move up an age category.
                               OR
3. Players of this large skilled group are too strong for the age category. Players of this group, would be offered to stay within the division and split into mini groups together.

EQUIPMENT
Ball Hockey requires very minimal equipment. All that is required is running shoes, gloves and a helmet. However, all CBHA (Canadian Ball Hockey Association) leagues use a certified low bounce orange. The ball is a hard and at the elite levels, can reach speeds at over 100 km/hour.

Mandatory Equipment Requirements
CSA approved helmets (facemasks under 18) 
CSA or ZEBRA Ball Hockey gloves
Hockey stick (no plastic blades) and running shoes. 

Recommended Equipment Requirements (optional)
Shin pads - ice hockey (must be covered), soccer or ball hockey shin pads
Protective cup

Goaltenders
CBHA approved DGel balls are low bounce and hard. Therefore, goaltenders must use CSA approved ice hockey gear; no street hockey equipment can be used (except in Initiation & Novice youth leagues or unless otherwise approved by the league).

All Goaltenders in Atom (and older) must have their own goal equipmment. In Initiation and Novice, goal equipment (pads, blocker, glove, chest pad) will be provided to teams if they are needed. In circumstances where a team may not have a regular goalie, the league will provide some. 

Required:
- Protective cup
- CSA approved goal pads
- Chest and arm pads
- Helmet with cage
- CSA approved blocker and trapper
- Protective hockey pants​​​​​​​

Combined Age Category
In the event that we do not have enough players to make 2 divisions in an age category, which is common,  players of all skill types will be placed on teams within the same division. When doing so, we try and build teams that have players of similar skills and experience levels on each team, while keeping groups of players that have requested to play together.

I WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER WITH A FRIEND OR GROUP OF FRIENDS

YOU MUST READ THIS IN ORDER TO REGISTER PROPERLY AND PLAY WITH FRIENDS

1. Prior to registering choose one person as the group rep, you will use that person's full name during your registration process.
