Shinny (or Stick & Puck) = Pick up hockey games involving anyone who shows up in full (hockey) gear and is willing and able to play the game of hockey. Depending on the number of participants, players will be required to take "shifts" on the ice allowing all players to achieve an equal amount of playing time. Goalies play for free, but if goalies are not available, the hockey goals can/will be altered allowing for a modified scoring experience for those shooting. During Shinny, slap shots and checking are not allowed.
Adult Shinny = Designed for those skaters HS age and older. These sessions tend to be a little faster and often have more coincidental hockey contact. For this reason younger players will not be allowed to play. Inexperienced Adult players should conduct a self evaluation to determine whether they play or not.
Shinny: All Ages = This session is for all ages. All family members are welcomed as long as they fit the criteria of and follow the rules stated for Shinny. All skill levels are encouraged to play in the Shinny: All Ages sessions as long as they play with the intent of helping others discover the joy of playing the great game of hockey. Because of the age and ability diversity in these sessions, anyone seeking a fast paced, "chippier," game should refrain from participating.
Stick Time! = For those looking to improve their game prior to participating in the next Shinny session, Stick Time! may be your next skate. During these sessions, multiple goals and skills building tools will be made available for those looking to work their skills development. Only during Stick Time!, Adult players will have the opportunity to wear less hockey gear as long as they are not going to participate in the 3v3 game. Helmets, hockey gloves, and hockey sticks are the only required gear for Adult participants...although full gear is still recommended. 3v3 hockey games are to be played on 1/3 of the ice during this time. Participants in any Stick Time! followed directly by a Shinny will only be charged for one session if they decide to participate in both!

Paper waivers must be signed (and minors will need a signature from a parent or guardian). Paper waivers will need to be filled out each time a participant skates on our ice.
