Do you want a better schedule this winter?

When you want better ice times and don’t mind inconsistency Regular Prime is a perfect schedule for your team. This schedules have 50% of the regular season games starting at 10:30 PM or earlier on any day at any arena we use. The only potential downside is if your team needs to be realigned to a different division then you will have to swap schedules with the team going up or down for you, therefore potentially loosing those earlier games in your old schedule.

Should this unfortunately happen to your team and your schedule becomes non prime (less than half of the games starting at 10:30 PM or earlier) we will credit your team back the difference in price between Regular schedule and Regular Prime schedule pro rated based on how many games you lost to non prime.

This is a new option your team for the 2010-11 winter season and is not offered anywhere else.

Your other schedule options are Home Ice Prime, Home Ice and Regular.

Do you want better and consistent ice times this winter?

Home Ice Prime schedule is an extension of the Home Ice schedule the only difference is, you will get half of your regular season games at the same time, on the same day of the week and at the same arena starting at 10:30 pm or earlier. For example we have a slot in Chestermere on Wednesdays at 9:45 pm, if you picked Home Ice Prime schedule and you picked that slot you will have 15 games starting at 9:45 pm on Chesteremere Red Arena. The away games will be played on the other teams’ schedules.

Should your team need to be realigned to a higher or a lower division, you will take your home games with you. In other words you will not lose the Home Ice Prime schedule. So the sooner you have your deposit in the better chance you have of securing a Home Ice Prime schedule for the winter season.

If earlier ice times are a factor and you like the consistency of knowing where and when your home games will be, and you want to keep your schedule unchanged for your home games, choose Home Ice Prime. There are limited Home Ice Prime schedules available.

Your other schedule options are Home Ice, Regular Prime and Regular.

Do you want you home games to always be in the same place on the same day and at the same time?

Choose Home Ice if you do. Home Ice schedule means that your team will play half of the 30 regular season games at the same arena, same day and time of the week. The other 15 games will be played against teams on their schedule.

If consistency of schedule is important to you, this is the option you should choose. For example instead of running around from arena to arena each week, playing each game at a different time and day (one week you could be playing a Monday 10:45 pm game in Chestermere and the next it can be a Sunday 11:15 game in Springbank) you know that tonight it is a home game and you are playing at South Fish Creek at 10:45 pm.

Another excellent benefit of a Home Ice schedule is its transferability. If you chose a Regular schedule and your team needs to be realigned to a different division you will lose the schedule you currently have and take on the schedule of the team you are swapping divisions with. However, if your team has to move up or down and you chose Home Ice schedule you keep all your home games!

Picking Home Ice schedule for the winter also saves you driving time, depending on where the guys on the team live you can pick a slot at an arena that is close to everyone. For example if your team is like the Airdrie MOFOs where most of the guys on the team live in Airdrie, Cardel place on Sunday nights is probably a good pick for you.

For only $900 more than a Regular schedule you can have the added convenience of consistency. In other words for $1.81 more per player each game you will know when and where you play your home games from start to finish of the season and will take them with you should the team need to be realigned.

Your other schedule options are Home Ice Prime, Regular Prime and Regular.

The Regular schedule option is the base schedule we provide. It is similar to what you get in other leagues but with several key advantages. Most everywhere when you register to play winter hockey your team is assigned a schedule and if you are lucky it will be published for the whole year. That is as far as it goes.

The difference between a regular schedule in the NCHL and elsewhere is significant, it is about choice. Even with a Regular schedule you still get to pick the conference and division you want to play in. You also get to pick a schedule out of the list of available Regular schedules we build. You can not get that anywhere else. This is why the order you put your deposit in matters, the sooner you pay your 2,500 deposit the more choice you have available, even with Regular schedules when it comes time to choose your schedule.

The disadvantage of the Regular schedule is that you can potentially play anywhere, on any day of the week and at any time. If consistent schedule and ice times are not important to you, then this is the choice for you.

Your other schedule options are Home Ice Prime, Home Ice and Regular Prime.
