Ball Hockey

The classic Canadian pastime.

ESSC Co-ed Ball Hockey Leagues (which you also know as Floor Hockey) allow you to leave the cold chill of the arena behind while still experiencing a fun full-body workout. With a variety of offerings, there's a league for anyone looking to get in the game at a recreational level. See for yourself why Ball Hockey is one of the ESSC's longest standing and most popular indoor sports.

After your game, meet up with your teammates and other players to enjoy exclusive food and drink specials at one of the ESSC's many Sponsor Bars around Edmonton!

All teams play once a week on the day they select when registering.

Typical Game Times

  • Evening Leagues: 6pm to 10:30pm

  • Afternoon/Evening Leagues: 4pm to 8:30pm

While our leagues are self-officiated, there is a Games Coordinator onsite to help manage equipment, time and scores. Games consist of two, 25-minute halves and a 5-minute half-time, and bookings are typically 1 hour long.

Games are played 4 on 4 (not including the goalie) with a minimum of two female players on the court.

4 on 4 - Co-ed - Masters

Are you 40+? Our Masters format is built for people 40 years of age or older! Games are played 4 on 4 (not including the goalie) with a minimum of two female players on the court.

5 on 5 - Men's - Premium

Games are played 5 on 5 (not including the goalie) at a premium facility. This means games are played on a full-sized rink surface and there are no stick restrictions.

5 on 5 - Co-ed

Games are played 5 on 5 (not including the goalie) with a minimum of two female players on the court.

Divisions are based on the experience and skills of a team - not on their competitive behaviour! No matter what skill level you register for, all players are expected to play with a 'fun-first, winning-second' attitude.

Please note that the below divisions may not be offered every season or day. If you have any questions about the different skill levels or where to place yourself, just call us!

Recreational

This division is for teams who are newer to the sport, or teams that consist of a mix of experienced and inexperienced players. Some players may still be learning the rules of Ball Hockey, meaning the flow of the game will not always be natural. If the majority of players are experienced and skilled, then the team should move up to a higher level if available.

  • Masters Leagues require that most players be at least 40 years of age before the start of the season.

    • To assist with roster management, all teams are permitted up to three players who are 30-39 years of age at the start of the season.

    • Although a team may have more U-40 players listed in their online roster, teams are not allowed to exceed the above maximum weekly–this includes the use of subs.

Players that are 18-29 years of age are not permitted to play in the Masters League.

Default Information

If a team has fewer than the minimum amount of required players at the scheduled game start time, an official game cannot be played. This is a default.

To learn more about the minimum number of players required to avoid a default, as well as scores and fee's, please check out our Default Policy.
