All our house league games are played at Oakville Arena on SportCourt Sunday thru Friday nights starting April 10th until July 12th.
We have an age group and skill level for everyone from 5 years of age and up. Our house leagues and hub leagues are for both youth and adult and operate co-ed. New for 2007, we are offering a Girls division. (Subject to registration numbers).
Our adult program offers four
different levels of play:
Recreational, Competitive &
Elite, as well as a 30 and over.
We also have a select program for each age group, which plays against teams from all over North America.
We are known as the Tour Oakville
Coyotes. Tour Hockey, the
world's leading inline hockey
company, is our league sponsor.
We are privileged to have their
support. They back our
development and high performance
rep teams, as well as our grass
roots house league players.
Halton Roller Hockey also
offers a
Summer Sports Day Camp, with
the emphasis on inline hockey of
course. But includes other
sports, like swimming, soccer
and baseball.
Why has the sport grown so much? In short, the game of roller hockey is a game that is very familiar to Canadians ("hockey on wheels"). The sport is a fast action packed game with lots of goals. Why so many goals? Roller hockey is a non-contact game that relies on the speed and finesse of its players. There are no offsides, so the transitions of the game are very quick creating many offensive opportunities.
Does roller hockey improve your Ice Hockey skills? Absolutely! The muscle groups required for skating as well as the skills needed to play the game are the same as the ice version. However, because the game is played 4 on 4, players are forced to play the puck and skate more than in the ice version providing a great developmental atmosphere for the game of hockey. Some players who have or are still playing in our league who are currently playing Elite ice hockey.
