The SHC is structured to provide all its members with a competitive yet enjoyable hockey experience. The league is organized into an A/B division split, ensuring balanced competition based on skill levels.
Team Composition
Each team within the SHC typically consists of 10-12 players. This structure ensures adequate playing time for all members while maintaining competitive team sizes.
A/B Division Split
The SHC employs an A/B division split to accommodate different skill levels and ensure fair competition:
- A Division: This division is for more experienced and higher-skilled players. The games are faster-paced and more competitive, catering to those with a strong hockey background.
- B Division: This division is designed for players who are still developing their skills or prefer a more recreational pace. It provides a supportive environment where players can enjoy the game and improve their abilities.
Draft Process
To maintain balanced teams, the SHC conducts a draft process before each season:
- Evaluation: Players are evaluated based on their skill levels, and this information is used to form evenly-matched teams.
- Draft: Teams are re-drafted every year with the goal of creating balanced rosters and ensuring competitive games throughout the season.
