With the Bucs’ 2009-2010 hockey season right around the corner, it’s time to start up another year of Adult Hockey Leagues at Buccaneer Arena. This year, we will be featuring 4 leagues to cater to all metro adult hockey players, including a Novice Hockey League for the beginning hockey player.
The Novice Hockey League is designed for anyone interested in playing hockey but have no/limited experience playing hockey. The league started last season with just 15 players, and it grew to 30+ players over the course of the season. So we are looking to continue this growth this season with a league up to 60 players. Last year’s players included DMYHA parents looking to get learn the sport their children play and Buccaneer season ticket holders wanting to play the game they love so much.
The Novice Hockey League will be played on Sunday afternoons (2:30 and 4:00). The league will run 29 weeks; 20 games and 9 practices.
Buccaneer Arena will also host the following leagues:
