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!

INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATIONS ONLY! Register solo and participate in a live draft at the beginning of the season to find your team. In this format, your registration includes a pre-season draft party as well as new team t-shirts for the season, and everyone is welcome regardless of skill or gender.
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!
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.
This division is for teams with mainly experienced Ball Hockey players. The flow of the game will be quicker than the Recreational division as there will be fewer stoppages and rule clarifications. Players can shoot and pass with accuracy, goalies are more skilled, and the team is looking for more of a challenge than the Recreational level. Not all players in this division are highly skilled, but players are experienced and knowledgeable in the sport.
When registering a full team, there is no limit to the maximum number of players you can have on the roster. Minimum female player requirements are inclusive of anyone who identifies as female. Masters
Players that are 18-29 years of age are not permitted to play in the Masters League. |
