Gerry Brown Spring 3 on 3 Youth Hockey
Game On! Registration begins February 1st
Another year of fast paced, recreational 3 on 3 co-ed hockey is just around
the corner. The Benson Centre is the place to be for 3 on 3 spring hockey
for IP to Midget aged players. The program has been in operation for
4 years and has grown from 40 to over 300 participants in 5 divisions.
3 on 3 hockey is a great way for players to develop skills, increase
creativity & conditioning, and to just simply have FUN!
All IP/Squirts and Novice games are played on 1/2 ice and teams will
consist of up to 8 skaters and 1 goalie per team. We are opening our
Atom division up to Major Novice players interested in the full ice
program. Atom, Peewee, Bantam and Midget Divisions will play full
ice and teams will consist of a maximum 9 skaters and 1 goalie.
Our rules encourage non-stop action, with no body checking, no
icing, no offsides, to keep the game flowing at a high pace. To keep
the emphasis on fair play and fun, teams are balanced for equal
competition. Teammate requests (minimum of 3) are welcomed
and every effort is made to accommodate the players. All players
will register individually and will be placed on teams by a selection
committee based on their current level of play (examples House, B, A,
AA, AAA). Volunteer on-ice coaches (IP/Novice) and bench coaches
are sought for each division, if interested please mark accordingly on
your child’s registration form.
Registration for the program will begin on Friday February 1st at 10:00
a.m. at the Benson Centre. Spaces will fill up quickly so please register
early. For more information on the Gerry Brown 3 on 3 Spring Hockey
