3 on 3 Summer League
May 12th - July 27th
This league has brought the fun back to summer hockey! Always exciting and explosive, the 3-on-3 League has for years helped kids to practice the fundamentals of hockey while experimenting with an innovative, pace-motivated play style that leads to more action per shift than any other form of hockey in Pittsburgh! All games are no check, which fosters the development of skating, passing, stick-handling, and shooting.

Players may only be rostered on one team per tier, but may be rostered on teams in different tiers. For example, a player may skate on one team in Bantam Tier 1 and one team in Bantam Tier 2, but may not play on two teams in Bantam Tier 2.
There will be NO roster exceptions to the age rules! Players may "play up" to an older division, (i.e. a child born in 2000 may play in the Squirt division.)
