Hey just wondering what this adult street hockey tournament is gonna be like. It says bring a team for drop in…? What are the team sizes or rules or is just of guys and girls getting put together and playing hockey together for an hour or so?
Best bet is for individuals wanting to play to come by at 2pm - they are just casual pick up games. The Five Hole for Food team will try to fit everyone in. Don’t forget a donation for the food bank!
