What is Red Circle Hockey Club?

Red Circle Hockey Club is a co-ed house league program offering ice 2 times per week for players from 4 to 20 years old. All divisions except for U7 play games on Full Ice. We have no residential boundaries, so everyone is welcome to play within our league. Ice times are consistent each week and announced at the start of the season. (e.g., U7: Saturday & Sunday mornings; U15: Tuesday & Saturday evenings).

Our motto is “Equal Opportunity Regardless of Ability”. All players receive equal ice time regardless of experience. If you are a first-time skater, first-time hockey player or a player who has been playing hockey for years, you will receive the same amount of ice time.

Division Information

• 2 ice times/week: Saturday & Sunday mornings
• Evaluations are held at the beginning of each season. The players will be split into two groups (green/red dots):
• Red Dots: beginners players with minimal or no skating ability. Focusing primarily on development. Will share the ice with up to 4 teams. Red dots will transition to 2 teams per ice and games in the second half of the season.
• Green Dots: more advance players, often with 1-3 years of playing history. Will share the ice with one other team. Green dots will transition to games sooner than red dots.

This is the year that players are introduced to full ice hockey for games. Confident, building skills and learning the rules of the game all while having fun!
