CMSA and the Chicago Gay Hockey Association are coming together for a 5 week season of Floor Hockey - starting Thursday, March 25!
Sign up as an individual or in groups. Teams will be determined by a skills course held the first week of play in an effort to equally match players with competitive teams. This is a great opportunity to meet others and build your hockey skills!
The league is open to all persons of all skill levels interested in the game. Equipment will be supplied.
League fee is only $20 per person and can be paid clicking the LEAGUE REGISTRATIONS link in the menu bar at the top of this page!
FAQ
1. Where and when will this floor hockey league take place?
Games will be played at Pottawattomie Park in Rogers Park (7340 N. Rogers Ave, Chicago 60626) in the gymnasium. Games will be every Thursday from. 7-9pm for 5 weeks starting March 25.
2. Is it co-ed? How many players per team? Any experiences required? Can my friends and I play on the same team?
Yes it's co-ed. Depending on the amount of participants, we hope to 6-8 players per team. No prior experience required however we do expect to spread the skill levels across the teams to make every team equally competitive. We will try our best to accommodate any request to play on the same team.
3. Will you be using a ball or puck? What equipment do I need? Can I use my own?
We will be using a ball. For players all you need is gym shoes. CMSA will have sticks you can use. You are more than welcomed to bring your own sticks/gloves. For those who want to play goalie, we will find out from CMSA if their budget allows for them to go out to buy a couple of sets they can loan out.
4. What are the rules and the game layout?
We will have more information on this once we have a better idea how many participants sign up.
5. Great! How much does this cost?
You will first need to have CMSA membership, which is $20. Chicago MSA's membership year runs from Sept 1 through August 31, 2010. If you are a current CMSA member (have paid your '09-'10 Membership dues), please proceed with event registration.
The 5 week floor hockey league is $20. You can sign up and pay for these online as well on the CMSA main page.
6. I am interested in hockey and would like to learn more, volunteer, and maybe play competitive hockey. Where can I find out more information?
Hamburger Mary’s, Wild Pug, and The Chicago Gay Hockey Association will be hosting an event called Puck-er Up: A Night out with CGHA on Saturday March 27th. This will give fans an opportunity to meet, greet, and cheer on your Chicago Gay Hockey Team, the Blackwolves. A bus will pick up fans from Hamburger Mary’s and will transport everyone to Northbrook for an evening game. Following the game the bus will then take everyone back to the city and resume the festivities at Wild Pug. Please email blackwolveshockey@gmail.com for more information.
