We are asking teams and individuals to register now so that we may structure our league capacity. Given the limited number of spots available, we are asking that teams and individuals please be considerate when registering. Attempting to hold spots in multiple leagues will only result in people having no opportunities to play. Please only register if it is your intent to play in the Rangers league this summer.

Once you have submitted the Registration Form your spot will ONLY be confirmed with an email response from the Town of Oakville. Due to holidays an email response may be delayed to the next business day. When Oakville moves in to the Orange-Restrict Zone or better you will receive further communication and instructions to complete payment.

Disclaimer: Please note that if your child plays at an AE/MD Level or higher they should be playing in the REP level program. Due to COVID once a player is registered and the season has started we cannot switch players to a different division. Each division of (4) will be considered its own COHORT that cannot be altered at any point in time. 3-on-3 is meant for developmental purposes and we do our best to make sure all players have the best experience possible

The Benefits of 3-on-3 Hockey

3-on-3 is a "skills" based game that is best described as "organized pond hockey" where players can develop their skills in a spring/summer league with an emphasis on fun over winning. However the benefits of 3-on-3 hockey stretches far beyond the less competitive atmosphere it creates as it is seen as one of the best ways for a player to develop their overall game:

• With a smaller numbers of players present on the ice there is an increased space available for the player to work within. The increased space creates the need to move with the puck more, allowing players to developed better footwork and puck control
• 3-on-3 blurs the distinction between offensive and defensive players creating a need for all players on the ice to create both an offensive presence in the opposing team’s zone as well as a defensive presence in their own
• 3-on-3 style of play promotes two-way player development resulting in offensive players developing defensive skills while defensive players develop more puck confidence and offensive tactics
• Goalies are always in the play resulting in more shots on net in addition to more movement which helps with conditioning, awareness and positioning
