What is the Summer 4-on-4 League?
The Summer 4-on-4 League includes 8 scheduled games played in a 4-on-4 cross-ice format with three 15-minute runtime periods each game. Three games will be played simultaneously during each session, while small rosters help maximize ice time and puck touches. Coaches will serve as on-ice officials to help maintain a fun and fast-paced environment.
Weekly Balanced Teams
Weekly balanced teams help accommodate summer vacations and missed weeks while keeping games competitive and fun. This format helps maintain balanced teams, prevents rosters from being short on players, and gives participants the opportunity to skate with different teammates throughout the summer.
