GENERAL INFORMATION:

The Brookside Roller Hockey League will continue to be open to both boys and girls ages 6 through 14. There will be four age divisions: 8 & Under, 10 & Under, 12 & Under and 14 & Under. This year’s season will run from April 12^th through June 21st. Like the preceding seasons, each team will practice one evening a week with all games being played on Saturdays at the in-line hockey rink located in Holmes Park (70^th & Holmes, Kansas City, Missouri).  

The cost of the upcoming 2008 spring season will remain at $120.00 per player. However, the league is launching what we are calling a “Bring-A-Friend Campaign” which means that if you  you bring a new player into the league that did not play last year, the cost to both players is reduced to $100.00 each.

The league will continue to use a house team format with player evaluations to determine player skill level and team placement. Our goal is to have each team as equal as possible to ensure a fun experience for each player. It does not matter is you are a beginner having never player roller hockey before or an experience player there is a place for you with Brookside Roller Hockey!

Recognizing each player’s safety is of the utmost importance, there is absolutely NO checking allowed and each child will continue to be required to war a hockey helmet (with cage), internal mouth piece, hockey gloves, elbow pads, shin and knee guards and skates. As we have done in the past, the league will lend each player needing them a helmet and hockey gloves at no cost.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO PLAY! If interested in playing roller hockey this season, please contact Mark Kuhls at 816-651-9335 or Markkuhls@yahoo.com.
