All games are played at the Sherwood Ice Arena throughout the week, depending on the division.

Looking For A Team?

Individuals without teams who are looking to play should register as an individual and contact Sean Taylor, SIA Hockey Director, and arrange an evaluation. Sean’s phone # is 503-625-5757 ext. 202. An evaluation consists of the player participating in our Thursday night (6:25pm) Adult Hockey Skills class (cost is $17.), with an SIA hockey evaluator observing their play and recommending the appropriate division. The player will then be placed on a team that has open slots on their roster. This process helps us ensure skill-level parity throughout the divisions, and that the individual has the most fun playing in a division that is appropriate for their abilities. If enough individuals register to create a team (14), the arena will make a team. Players will then be responsible to purchase jerseys. (Northwest Skate Authority can help you if you need jerseys. Call them at 503-925-8097).

Adult Hockey League Divisions

The idea behind having nine divisions is to have more parity amongst the teams, as well as providing a place for players of all skill levels to play. To ensure this happens, it may be necessary for some players to be relocated once the season starts to make sure they are in the proper division. Players will be relied upon to honestly represent their own skill level to make sure they end up in the correct division. Days & Times are subject to change at leagues discretion.

We will have a 15 game season for all divisions (10 for the summer). 1 playoff game is guaranteed. Team Reps skate free when they provide the rink with a full roster (Full roster = 14 paid players + Goalie). If a full roster is not completed by the week of the first game a $75 league fee will be assessed to the player rep.
