When hockey is played in the St. Louis area
Youth ice hockey mostly runs from about September to March, with spring and summer leagues where rinks have ice.
St. Louis has four distinct seasons with cold winters and hot, humid summers. Ice sports peak in the colder months at indoor rinks, where ice time is shared among hockey, figure skating, curling and public sessions.
How to run a hockey league in St. Louis, MO
- Contract ice time. Ice is the biggest cost; contract rink hours before you set fees and team counts.
- Group by age. Use standard age classifications so teams can play others in your area.
- Check equipment. Make sure every player has full protective gear; consider a used-gear swap for beginners.
- Screen coaches. Background check every coach and on-ice volunteer.
- Register and collect fees. Collect registration online and offer installments if your costs allow.
- Publish the schedule. Share rink, time and locker room info for every game and practice.
