ABOUT XL HOCKEY
The league is similar in nature to a recreation hockey league and was created to offer players an organized, fun, non-threatening, no-check hockey game once every week.
Playing one hockey game a week will give you the time to snowboard, do your homework, skate outdoors, go on family vacations, spend holidays wherever you want and do whatever else you want!
But most importantly, the XL Hockey League keeps you in the game that you love!
Teams can be created with players in and around your community, so if you’re short on kids in your neighborhood, talk to neighboring communities. The league can also place individual players on teams.
We believe that offering a league that focuses on skating, passing and scoring will be a fun experience and keep more players in the game.
Hockey is a game that can be played for a lifetime and by offering a fun and safe place to play, more kids will keep playing!
XL HOCKEY IS A PROUD AFFILITATE OF USA HOCKEY AND MINNESOTA HOCKEY.
