In response to the growing cost and commitment level of travel hockey MN Hockey District 3 will begin offering a recreational hockey program in the 2009-2010 hockey season. This program consists of one hour sessions held on Sunday nights. These sessions will be by level in a scrimmage format where the sides are determined weekly. The sessions will be at the Plymouth Ice Center.

1.  One team will consist of 23 or less PeeWee/Bantam players. Levels will be dictated by Minnesota age ranges.
2.  Only players who are listed on this roser may participate.
3.  These teams will only participate in inner squad scrimmages and will not play any Association teams or other players not included on the official team roster.
4.  No player may play for any other USA registered hockey team.
5.  If more than 23 players register for the level a second roster will be submitted. In this event the rosters will not limit a player from team 1 from being selected to play on the same scrimmage team as a player from team 2 on any given week.
6.  This league is a no check league - No Exceptions.
7.  There will be a zero tolerance policy for fighting.
8.  Waivers will not be required for players from other District 3 communities who roster on these recreational teams. Notification of these players will be given to their home Association registrar as a guard against duel rostering.

The intent of this program is to attract and retain hockey players by offering a lower cost and higher flexibility option to the traditional travel program. MN Hockey District 3 believes strongly in the value of athletic participation.

Cost this year will be around $180. Players receive a reversible jersey, USA/MN Hockey insurance, 18-20 hours of ice. The dates for the season will be 11/15/09 - 3/22/10. Play will be Sunday nights for one hour beginning at 7:15 p.m.

Only District 3 residents will be allowed to participate in this league.

To sign up, register with your local association where you reside and pay the USA Hockey and MN Hockey Registration Fees. At the first session you will need to arrive at the arena at 6:45 p.m. with a check in the amount of $130 for the ice time and jersey.
