CSSC 2009 CSSC FLOOR HOCKEY INFORMATION

General Description

This is a fast-paced and competitive sport, but the CSSC emphasizes a ‘fun-first’ attitude to the game! This season, sharpen your skills, broaden your knowledge and have a great time with your team at one of our 5 private facilities each week. It’s a 5 on 5 game including the goalies (or 6 on 6 if you register for the Currie Barracks league), with a minimum of 2 females on the floor at all times. The CSSC offers Recreational, Recreational Plus, Intermediate and Intermediate Plus/Competitive divisions. We are proud to offer a new Recreational league on Mondays. This Monday league will be played at the centrally located Calgary Northeast Sports Facility (CNSF), complete with a beautiful hardwood floor and player boxes. The CSSC is also introducing a Tuesday Recreational league for teams or players who want to play on Tuesday nights but aren't quite ready for the Intermediate Plus/Competitive division. All games have a Coordinator present but you are expected to call your own fouls and be responsible for your own play. After your game, meet-up with your team mates and other CSSC players while enjoying exclusive specials at one of our many Sponsor Bars around Calgary. Floor Hockey is one of the CSSC’s most popular sports and leagues sell out quickly.

Who Can Play?

Adults aged 18 and older can join the Floor Hockey leagues. All Floor Hockey Leagues in the CSSC are co-ed. The levels offered include Recreational, Recreational Plus, Intermediate, and Intermediate Plus/Competitive. These divisions accommodate all skill levels; from the beginner to the experienced Floor Hockey Player. For a description of each division's level of skill, please see below. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 or more players but not a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations. Small groups, friends and individual registrations are combined with other similar registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration of the season. Click here for more info.

FLOOR HOCKEY DIVISION DESCRIPTIONS

Level

                                                      
                                                       Description

Recreational

This division will see teams that may have some skilled players, but typically the team as a whole does not have a lot of experience playing any form of hockey. Passing, shooting and goaltending is unpredictable as some teams learn the sport better than others. There is a big emphasis on fun first.

Recreational Plus

This division will see teams where the majority of players have played some form of hockey in the past. Passing and shooting are typically accurate, with goaltenders being skilled. The games in this division are usually fast-paced with a lot of action.

Intermediate

Teams in this division are too good to play in the Rec levels, but need more experience to get to the Int+/Competitive levels. This division will see teams who can form organized plays and are very skilled in all aspects of the game (offense, defense, goaltending).

Intermediate Plus/Competitive

You know who you are! This division will see a very high level of skill and competitiveness. Teams will work well together and have typically played with each other for some time. Usually, all players in this division excel in all aspects of the game and are confident in their hockey abilities.
