After September 16^th, if we require registrants, we will advertise any spots that are available.

General Description

This is a fast-paced and competitive sport, but the CSSC emphasizes a ‘fun-first’ attitude to the game! This season, sharpen your skills, broaden your knowledge, and have a great time with your team at one of our 5 private facilities each week. It’s a 5 on 5 game including the goalies (or 6 on 6 if you register for the Currie Barracks league), with a minimum of 2 females on the floor at all times. The CSSC offers Recreational, Recreational Plus, Intermediate and Intermediate Plus/Competitive divisions. We also offer a Recreational Plus division on Sunday evenings that plays out of the NSD floor hockey arena exclusively. All divisions have a Coordinator present but you are expected to call your own fouls and be responsible for your own play. After your game, meet-up with your team mates and other CSSC players while enjoying exclusive specials at one of our many Sponsor Bars around Calgary. Floor Hockey is one of the CSSC’s most popular sports and leagues sell out quickly.

Who Can Play?

Adults aged 18 and older can join the Floor Hockey leagues. All Floor Hockey Leagues in the CSSC are co-ed. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 or more players but not a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations. Small groups, friends and individual registrations are combined with other similar registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration of the season.

Really Recreational

Is 75% of your team new to hockey, and new to the CSSC? Do you love hockey but don’t want to play against those ultra skilled players? Then this is the division for you. It will allow teams to get to know the rules, sportsmanship system and skills required to move up to higher divisions. There will be more points awarded for sportsmanship in this league, with those points being directly added to the win/loss points. Additionally, each player is only allowed to score three goals per game and the mercy score is 5-0. After a mercy has been achieved, it is mandatory for teams to switch goalies and play for fun.

Recreational

This division will see teams that may have some skilled players, but typically the team as a whole does not have a lot of experience playing any form of hockey. Passing, shooting and goaltending is unpredictable as some teams learn the sport better than others. There is a big emphasis on fun first.

Recreational Plus

This division will see teams where the majority of players have played some form of hockey in the past. Passing and shooting are typically accurate, with goaltenders being skilled. The games in this division are usually fast-paced with a lot of action.

Intermediate

Teams in this division are too good to play in the Rec levels, but need more experience to get to the Int+/Competitive levels. This division will see teams who can form organized plays and are very skilled in all aspects of the game (offense, defense, goaltending).

The above divisions are created based on skill level and not on competitive behaviour. All SSC players are expected to play with a ‘fun-first, winning second’ attitude. The SSC may move your team up or down a division based on seasonal results.
