+ Skill is a way for your team to get four (4) practices along with your regularly schedules games. The practice schedule will be integrated with your game schedule and you will always be able to make both games and practices.
The practices will happen once every month and you and your teammates will get to work on plays that you can’t work on during the game. Our instructors will tailor each practice to your needs every month.
Power Play is not working? You can work on that! Want to make your break outs faster and more effective, work on that too. If the team wants to do more skill development like shooting, passing, skating and so on – that can be done as well.
The best part about + Skill is that it will be part of your schedule and you will know well in advance when you are going to have a practice. Your schedule will be built around practices and we will try to make it so that each practice precedes your next game.
If you have more questions about this option, please ask your account manager to give you more details.
“Game Time” option gives you the ability to fix at least half your games to a time window you like. If you pick this option you will choose the following:
- The time window you want to play your games at
We will guarantee at least 50% of all your games will be played at the time window you choose. We will of course try to load up your schedule with as many games as we can that fit your choice. An example of a time window can be 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM. These windows are predetermined and your account manager can explain to you exactly how this works.
In some cases it is likely to have 10-12 out of 16 games to be in the same time window. We will try to make that happen.
So what does that mean to you and your team?
If you don’t like late ice times you can choose a time window of 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM for your schedule and half your games will then for sure be on during these times. The games can occur on any day of the week (we do not play on long weekends).
Your other schedule options are Game Day & Time, Game Day and Regular

Regular schedule option means that your games can be played on any day, at any time. (there are no games on long weekends, except the Monday). Of course this is the most cost effective schedule for your team and gives you the least amount of choice.
- You still get to choose the schedule out of all the Regular schedules
So what does that mean to you and your team?
If you pick the Regular schedule option it means that your games will be played on any day at any time. It will be a random schedule and you won’t have any consistency. However, it is the most economical schedule you can choose for your team. So if you don’t care about consistency or better ice times, go with the Regular schedule.
Your other schedule options are Game Day & Time, Game Day or Game Time
