What’s a spare, you ask?

Spares: Pay for 2 games upfront ($60) – we’ll reach out if there are any spots available to play.

Please note: No refunds or proration. We expect each spare to get at least 2 games, if not more!

To make sure we can reach you, please keep your availability up to date in TeamSnap. Every Wednesday, we’ll check and email the spares who are available to offer a Saturday or Sunday game based on your age group.

You’ll mostly be asked to spare for your age group, but if you’re at the rink and there’s a game after yours that needs a spare, feel free to jump in if you're available.
