Two Divisions
30 & Older * 40 & Older * 

This league promotes friendly yet competitive hockey games and very few penalties. You must be the minimum age as of the first day of a session to play.

The 30+ and the 40+ league consists of eight teams with a maximum of 15 skaters and one goalie per team. A total of 15 games are possible: 12 games plus all teams make the playoffs. The schedule is designed so players may play in more than one league as leagues do not play on the same evenings.

Games are 3 twenty-minute running time periods with a stop clock during the last two minutes of the third period if a game is within two goals. Regular-season games ending in a tie feature a five-minute sudden death overtime. Winners earn two points, and teams losing in overtime earn one point. The league champions receive championship t-shirts for each player.
