Why play 3 on 3 hockey?

While 3 on 3 hockey is less expensive, it also offers each player more playing time which will improve skating, puck handling, passing and shooting skills. Players will learn to read and react to plays and will learn how to create open ice. This form of hockey allows for creativity and informal learning. Best of all, it keeps the fun in playing hockey!
