Equipment

In order to allow as many people as possible to play, we supply all players with the minimal padding needed to play the game. Specifically, the following pads are available for checkout at the rink:
  • Shin guards
  • Helmet
  • Gloves
  • All goalie equipment except skates and stick
This equipment is required for all players on the ice at all times. In addition, we require everyone on the ice to be wearing hockey skates (not figure skates). Skates are not available for rental during Intramural games.

You will also to provide your own sticks, including goalie sticks.

Although other padding, such as elbow, upper leg, and shoulder padding is neither provided nor required, it is strongly recommended for all players, and very strongly recommended for those in checking leagues.

The Ice Times designated as IM Hockey are as follows: Sunday 5:30-11:30 pm Monday 8:30-11:30 pm Tuesday 9-11:30 pm Wednesday 8:30-11:30 pm Thursday 9-11:30 pm

These times are subject to preemption by varsity and club hockey games, special events, and just about anyone else. IM teams generally play about 5 games a year, plus 1 or 2 during IAP, if the team is around for January.

Leagues

There is a place for players of all levels of ability.
D League
The lowest ability level, D league is for teams whose players may never have played hockey before. It is also the largest league. There is no checking in D League.
D+ League
This is a step up from D league. It is for teams who may have played a few games before, and have some concept of the rules, although skating may not be a strength.
C League
For those players who are familiar with the basic rules and strategy of hockey, and who have played before. C league is a checking league.
C Non-checking League
Similar in ability level to C league, without the checking.
C+ League
This is a step up from C league, with moderate skating and puckhandling skills relative to C league, but not the strategic or playmaking skills of B and A league. C+ league is a checking league.
B and A Leagues
Teams that have a strong understanding of the rules and strategy, with strong skating and puckhandling abilities. The A League differs only in having these skills to a greater degree. Both A and B leagues have separate playoffs and are checking leagues.

Pickup games

In addition to the scheduled games that take place most evenings, there are pickup games each weekday afternoon. Monday through Thursday, these games take place from 3:00pm to 4:00pm. On Fridays, the game runs from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.

All levels of ability are welcome to the game. Equipment is available for check-out with an athletic card.
