May 12th - July 29th 

This league has brought the fun back to summer hockey! Always exciting and explosive, the 3-on-3 League has for years helped kids to practice the fundamentals of hockey while experimenting with an innovative, pace-motivated play style that leads to more action per shift than any other form of hockey in Pittsburgh! All games are no check, which fosters the development of skating, passing, stick-handling, and shooting.

PLEASE NOTE - We are filling fast. Please do not wait to register!

Goalies wear full equipment in the more experienced tiers and in the less experienced tiers children take turn using a goalie stick with their regular equipment. Smaller nets, 4.5' wide and 3' tall are used at the 6 & U and 8 & U levels.

Mite 3 ON 3 Hockey 

All mite division will be played Cross Ice. Any mite who wishes to play full ice needs to join a team that is playing in one of the Squirt divisions, all of which are full ice.

There will be NO roster exceptions to the age rules of players skating down! Players may "play up" to an older division, (i.e. a child born in 2004 may play in the Squirt division. Players born 2005 and later may NOT skate up to Squirts.)

An all girls team may play down one level.
