6 minutes of play? That hardly constitutes a BIG REALITY of recreational hockey. Since Junior (many an eon ago...) I have played Senior and now 'beer league rec' ever since. Some great hockey, some mediocre hockey, some poor hockey....you’re NOT being paid to play it so I think you have to have a little more patience then 6 minutes of play. Just my 2 cents on that.

As for the new league's launch....if they can muster up better ice times and from what posted on the site...much better benefits for the players...awesome!

I am so bloody tired of the 11:15pm ice times out in flippin' Cochrane or elsewhere outside of the city. If you sign up for a Calgary Rec league, you should play IN CALGARY! Getting home at 2am and going to work for 8 am (ish) is getting tougher and tougher each season.....looking for a change for sure. Balance of ice times, better benefits and $ saved sounds pretty solid to me. I emailed them, they have a bunch of teams already putting in deposits....
