2012 FloorPlay Ball Hockey Rules



Hello Ball Hockey Enthusiasts! Just a little update regarding the Event set for Saturday, November 24th 2012. The Bentall Centre Athletic Club will open at 9am to Welcome you, and get the ball rolling! For the next hour, we'd like you to get the members of your team organized and waivers signed and warm up. At 9:45am we will all gather in pakade for a little kick off, and the first Ball will drop at 10am.

Please remember to bring warm clothes and perhaps a Blanket and your dancing shoes as it can get chilly in the parking lot between games. Food and Beverages will be provided to all teams from the Ringside Lounge.  The event is expected to run until 4/5pm. A final draft of tournament schedule will be posted here by Thursday, November 22nd.
