LEGENDS HOCKEY INFORMATION We like to have 20 skaters in our games, and we do often have openings. THE GAME We have organized three
games a week, Mondays 2pm and Fridays 1pm at Sandy Hill Arena,
Wednesdays 3pm at Ottawa U. (Season runs September to April!)
All the games have 20 full-time skaters and 2 goalies, but we
often have openings for SPARES. The games have players in
the 55-75 age range, non contact, no slapshots, no refs, different
teams balanced and set each week. (Beer upstairs after the game!) Wednesdays: Park in the lot
off Mann Ave, then go to the front desk and ask for a yellow pass under
Tom Evans. Put it on your dash, it’s good for all the games until the
end of the year. Don’t forget! (If you get a ticket there are ways to
fight it, ask). - Game starts after a short
warm-up, please be on the ice on time! -
Change with your line, keep the lines together, if your line mates have
gone to the bench you should go too. -
Sweaters - please have a white and a black sweater, not
other colours, preferably socks as well. GUIDELINES SAFETY - Clean Play - We have no
refs, we are self policing. Play by the rules of hockey! No
BodyContact/Slashing/Slashing Stick/Hooking/Holding/Checking. This
includes ‘funny’ holding/grabbing etc, don’t do it. -
There is to be no pushing/shoving/punching. If you feel another player
is cheating (above) tell them verbally only. Any rough behaviour could
result in your removal from the league. -
Protect the Goalies, please don't poke or whack the goalie trying to get
the puck. If the goalie more or less has it, just leave it alone. -
NO CUTTING IN FRONT of the goalie/net on offence - a dangerous move to
be avoided. OFFSIDES It’s the bench’s job to
call offside, not the players on the ice. It should be clearly offside
(if it’s close remain quiet) GOALIE
PUCK FREEZE Don’t
whack at the goalie! Goalie freezes the puck, or puck hits the mesh
- puck goes to the defence and offensive team backs up (briefly) to the
thin red line at the top of the circles. ICING Avoid Collisions! If
there’s a race for the puck, whoever’s in front gets possession and
a bit of time to turn around, close races go to the defender. Play
continues. GOAL Offensive
team (celebrates and) backs up to centre ice until other team reaches
centre ice.- No Slapshots - your stick must be ON the ice through the
shooting motion. -
There is compensation for the few guys who deal with the website, make
the lines and ensure we have goalies each week, by giving a discount off
the fees. If you would like to do this say so. -
The season goes from early September to the end of April, no games when
they fall directly on a Statutory Holiday (Labour Day, Thanksgiving,
Christmas, Boxing Day, New Years Day, Family Day, Good Friday). Some
other dates are also blocked out. -As
long as there are funds there will be a contribution to a year-end party
(around the end of April, all welcome even if you didn’t play that
game!) Suggestions ARE Welcome! |

2. Sweaters - please try to have a white or blue/black not green or red or grey, some of us can't decide which team those ones belong to. 3. Goalie Poking - please restrict yourself to one mild poke at a puck in the blue paint (or maybe none) to protect the goalies. 4. Offsides - if you are clearly offside you should give the puck away, not pass it back to your own team. Suggestions welcome! |
