Get in the game

Ice Hockey moves to Stronach Arena beginning in October

Huff N Puff Senior Fitness Association Ice hockey program is starting a new chapter. Beginning in October this year we will be playing our games at Stronach Arena (1221 Sandford Street) October to March and changing to 80-minute games instead of the 50-minute games we have been playing. We will keep the same two divisions (faster and better looking) of 4 teams in each division. Our non-stop style will continue, self-supervised, twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays one division starting at 9:30 and 11:00 and the other division will have games starting at 10:00 and 11:30. We will have a few openings in both divisions and we are always on the hunt for goalies to compliment our roster. If you want to get some exercise and you can stay upright on your skates for most of a game, if you are looking for a great group of players (about 30% women) all there for the same exercise and social connections, we might be right for you. You must be a member of Huff N Puff and the cost for ice will be shared by players at about $450. (calculated when we get the contract costs confirmed with the City) for the full season of 52 games.
