Timekeepers Wanted

Hello ARL Players,

We are in need of some additional hands to assist with managing the scoreboard.

Anyone age 14+ who is available Friday nights throughout the summer may apply, even if you can only do a handful of dates or limited hours per night..

The position is paid, either in the form of some extra spending money or volunteer hours.

If you or someone you know is interested, or if you have any questions, please reach out to Christian ([email protected]).

Thank You,
The ARL Board

Get Ready for Summer 2023

Hello players,

The start of the ARL’s Summer 2023 season is quickly approaching, so here are some quick details to go over before that first puck drop.

Rosters have started being distributed to the captains. The captain will reach out to their team for introductions and shortly after provide a schedule. The schedule will be posted by Tuesday, if not earlier. Just know for sure you are playing on Friday evening (Apr. 21st) at the Wave Twin Rinks.

As is the same every season, we’ve tried to keep pairings together, but some may found themselves separated unintentionally. We will get it sorted (where possible) but we ask that you play your first game regardless of your placement.

The league is nearly full, minus a handful of individual spots scattered across divisions. So full, in fact, that we had to expand our target to 22 teams. This is great news for most, but it can also be bad news for a few individuals: If you have not paid your registration fees (the deadline was March 31st) you may not have been placed on a team, as paid players take priority. We will begin cancelling those unpaid registrations or move them to waitlist shortly. If you fall into that category, please make your payment as soon as possible.

If you do not hear from your captain by Tuesday, please contact us.

We hope that everyone has a great season!
