Hockey Guy

The Never Ever League is for the person who has never ever played hockey before. The true beginner. It combines off ice instruction with on ice skills sessions, and even instructional game time. Best of all - the leagues are "non-checking", we all have to go to work in the morning!

Led by Don Rogers, the Never Ever League is the perfect place for you to start playing ice hockey. Whether you can ice skate or not!

Hockey equipment packages are available to get you everything you will need to start playing this exciting game.
