Join us on Thursday, March 26th at 3:15 PM in the NAIT Arena for a fast-paced 3-on-3 ice hockey tournament focused on fun, movement, and community. Games are played in a small-area format with no body contact, no slap shots, and no goaltenders. Standard nets will be used with shooter tutors installed. Goals are scored by shooting the puck into the open target areas of the shooter tutor.
This event is designed to offer a social, inclusive hockey experience with lots of puck touches, short shifts, and a relaxed atmosphere—while still prioritizing participant safety.
All participants must sign a waiver prior to participation. NAIT Campus Recreation staff will be onsite to facilitate and monitor play. You can request to sign-up on a team or as a single player and staff on-site will add you to a team.
