My 8 year old son starts his 4 on 4 league today. His first time doing this kind of thing. Should be awesome.

each team has 9 players. two lines of 4 and a goalie, no coaches just parents opening the door, and a parent who runs the buzzer/clock. Every two minutes the buzzer goes (unless a breakaway) and they change the lines. They play 2 26 minute games an hour apart.



2 minute shifts?  They're putting the NHL'ers to shame  :biggrin:

I understand why the kids shifts are longer...it was a joke

They play on a smaller rink as well, similar to how youth soccer fields and little league baseball fields get progressively smaller the younger the players are.

Some hockey shots, including the mandatory I've obviously just scored a goal and am very happy shot at the end.

A shot of me and my linemates playing in our 'over 40' (old fogey) league.  This was at the Islanders' practice facility.  I'm on right wing.

Yeah, you can just make out the Isles logo on the dark blue awning in the background, where they sell paraphernalia to the kids that come to watch their practices.  It's a pretty nice facility with 2 rinks and pro shop, but the ice surface can get ripped to shreds from all the hard usage by the pro's (if you wanna call em that lol).   A few years ago, the league used to schedule one game of the season at the Nassau Coliseum, which is cool.  I wish they'd start doing that again.

Damn, Nick!

That's a mighty fine rink you play on.

The one we used to play on was all beat up and there was no fence so you had to chase the ball everytime it went over the boards.  Before that we used to piss off the tennis players.   I'm jealous!

You almost look like Bobby Clarke in that last picture.




Ludwig -- I played at the Devils practice rink a few times in West Orange before they moved to Newark, but I'm not that great a skater.

Most of my damage was done a lot earlier wearing sneakers.
