How is Puckhead Hockey different from pickup hockey?
Unlike pickup hockey, we strive to make this club hockey as close to real game play as possible. We have a maximum of 20 skaters (plus goalies). There are 10 skaters per team, two lines of 5 skaters each. Each line skates for 2 minutes and then changes. This way, each skater gets equal time on the ice, no matter their skill level. Unlike pickup hockey; skating for 2 minutes and sitting for 15 waiting for the 15 guys on your bench to rotate through, thanks to the hot shots who never get off the ice.
There are no referees, so infractions are kept to a minimum and self-enforced. Remember, this is club hockey with an emphasis on fun, skill building and exercise. Please leave the hot dogging, chippy playing and puck hogging at home!
Where do you play?
Currently we play at three different Ice Rinks around the valley:
Gilbert Polar Ice in Gilbert, Click for Map
Arcadia Ice Arena in Phoenix, Click for Map
Alltell Ice Den in Scottsdale, Click for Map
How much does it cost to play?
Game fee is currently $25 per game at all venues. You only pay for the games you play and not the ones you don't. Its pay-as-you-go pricing. Registration for the club is free and there are currently no required annual "membership" fees. Goalies are provided a annual membership fee option.
How old do I have to be to play?
Adults of any age can play. Younger players under 18 years old will be allowed to play on a case-by-case basis, with their parents permission and signed waiver. Contact Ray if you have a son or daughter that would like to play.
How do I sign up?
Puckhead Hockey requires website registration which is 100% Free. Once you register, just log in and you will see the game calendar. Select the game you want to play in and sign up. You can pay online or cash at the game.
What if I get hurt during game play?
Puckhead Hockey requires an injury liabillty waiver to be signed before you can skate. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you understand that you SKATE AT YOUR OWN RISK and Puckhead Hockey Club is not responsible or liable for any injury incured before, during, or after any club event. The waiver is considered signed and accepted during the original registration process with a digitial initial. The waiver is available on-line for review. Please take time to read the waiver.
What if I sign up but have to cancel short notice?
Cancellations are troublesome for all members because it makes the teams skate uneven or short, but we know they do happen.
Our Short Notice (within 6 hours of game time) Cancellation Policy is basically this:
The spot you cancel needs to be paid for. If you cancel WITHIN 6 hours of game time, you will be responsible for the fee, payable at your next skate or if you have available balance it will be taken from your account. You need to be present no less than 20 minutes prior to the start of the game. If you do not, your spot may be filled with a person on the waiting list and you will still be required to pay your fee as a result of a late cancellation. If you NO SHOW, meaning that you simply do not cancel or show up, you will not only be responsible for your game fee but a $25 no show penalty as well. This is a very strict policy and is designed to make sure you are being responsible to the club. There is no reason (excluding severe emergencies) that you should not be able to call to cancel.
What is Your Fighting Policy?
Physical and verbal abuse of or by any PHC member will not be tolerated for any reason. Any member involved in an incident that involves excessive verbal abuse or ANY physical abuse will be subject to a range of diciplinary action that includes but may not be limited to immediate suspension, fines or penalties, and permanent expulsion from the club.
In an effort to be as fair as possible to all members, each situation will be taken into consideration on an individual basis but under no circumstances will PHC advocate, endorse, or tolerate violent physical contact between members on or off the ice.
