The ARL (Co-ed Adult Rookie Hockey League) began its first Summer season May 2008 at the Wave Twin Rinks in Burlington, Ontario. The ARL is a no-contact, co-ed, social hockey league for players that want a less-competitive atmosphere. We accept rookies that are just learning the game of hockey and skating as well as players that have been playing a while but enjoy the non-competitive, non-aggressive game we play. The league plays Friday nights at the Wave Twin Pad in Burlington. We play on both ice surfaces.

For new players, our ARL has two divisions based on skill levels; Rookie (for levels 6+) and Beginner (for level 1-5).  Please remember the Rookie division is still a group of Rookie hockey players with a wide variety of skill levels. Our refs are asked to protect our players and goalies by calling all aggressive plays in order to maintain the fun, social ARL-style hockey we are used to.

It's perfect for couples, friends and family that want to play together.

As part of our ongoing commitment to charity in our community, we welcome fund raising ideas from our players and hope to continue to support local charities. The ARL has made charitable donations to the following organizations to date: Sick Kids Foundation, T.E.A.D., Toronto Maple Leafs Skate for Easter Seals, Heart & Stroke - Hockey for Heart. If you have an idea or would like to volunteer to help us help others, please contact us.
