RECREATIONAL HOUSE LEAGUES

The North Jersey/ Rockland House League is open to players at all skill levels. However, it is highly recommended that players enroll in the clinics if they have no previous experience. Applications will be accepted from individuals, small groups who would like to play together, or complete teams until all rosters are full. Travel players may not be rostered without the approval of the League Director.

Individual applicants will be placed on teams on the basis of evaluation and organizational skating sessions. All attempts will be made to maintain a balanced, competitive league. Reassignment of individual players will be made until the 6th game at the discretion of the League Director to insure relative balance. ALL PLAYERS WILL RECEIVE EQUAL ICE TIME. Each team will have an adult coach and the Sport-O-Rama staff will give additional coaching assistance.
