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 all our games at Gilbert Polar Ice in Gilbert, AZ. Click for Map
How much does it cost to play?
It is $20 per game. 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 no yearly "membership" fees.
How old do I have to be to play?
Adults of any age can play. Players 13 to 18 years old will be allowed to play on a case-by-case basis, with their parents permission. Contact Ray if you have a son or daughter in that age range 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. The waiver is available on-line, when you register with the site or at your first game. The waiver only needs to be filled out once and we will keep it on file. See the waiver for more details.
What if I sign up but have to cancel short notice?
Cancellations are annoying for the skaters because it makes the teams skate uneven or short, but we know they do happen.
Our Short Notice (less than 6 hours from game time) Cancellation Policy is basically this:
The spot you cancel needs to be paid for. If you do not show up for a game or cancell WITHIN 6 hours of game time, you will be responsible for the fee, payable at your next skate or if you have credits, 1 will be taken as payment. You need to be present no less than 15 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 no show.
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.
