Before the season starts, an initial tiering is done based on the number of teams registered and the skill level identified by the coach and/or players during the registration process. It is our goal to make 3 on 3 hockey competitive and entertaining for players, coaches and parents. Bear in mind that we do not have try-outs in this league and that the coaches/players self-identify their skill levels.
An initial schedule is drafted to give each team approximately 5 games. After these games are played, we look at each teams’ performance to determine whether or not the competition in their division is too strong or too weak for their level of play. Re-tiering involves a completely new schedule and while it may not sound like much on the surface, we have hundreds of ice slots spread out over various arenas. We also take into consideration appropriate times for specific age groups. Coaches are contacted prior to any movement of their team.
