GAMEPLAY
DO I NEED TO BE EXPERIENCED IN ORDER TO PLAY?
Not at all! Individuals of all skill levels are welcome, including beginners.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED TO PLAY HOCKEY?
We encourage players to wear all necessary protective gear on the ice. That includes a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, shin guards, gloves, hockey pants, and jocks. Full-face masks are encouraged. However, our only requirement is that players wear a helmet at all times while playing hockey.
ARE THERE REFEREES?
Yes, we hire certified Hockey Referees.
DO TEAMS HAVE SCHEDULED PRACTICES?
No, most of our ice time is devoted to games.
DO YOU OFFER SKILLS DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS?
Yes, we run skills development sessions during the season. These sessions are typically scheduled on Saturday afternoons. We run drills for the first 45-60 minutes, followed by a 30-minute scrimmage. Beginners and experienced players are encouraged to attend.
ARE TEAMS BALANCED FOR SKILL?
Team rosters are created during the annual TGHA Draft Party. We make every effort to create teams of equal strength based on what we know about each player from previous seasons and based on requests to accommodate player bonding arrangements.
Occasionally we find that, despite our best efforts, a team is unusually strong or unusually weak. We reserve the right to move players to other teams in an attempt to make the gameplay as balanced as possible.
DOES THE LEAGUE KEEP PLAYER STATS?
Player statistics are available on the team site portion of the website. We keep this information and use it during the draft.
