Q: WHAT ARE THE RULES?
A: NHL STREET has its own gameplay model, designed to be fast-paced and engaging for all participants. Most leagues (depending on size of playing surface) use a 4-on-4 setup, plus goalies. Games consist of two 15-minute halves. Tie-breaks are settled with shoot-outs.

Q: WHAT IS THE EXPECTED TIME COMMITMENT FOR PARTICIPANTS?
A: The total time commitment to participate in NHL STREET is about 1 hour per week. Most leagues operate on a 6-, 8-, or 10-week cycle. Coaches hold a 20-minute practice before each game, and games consist of two 15-minute halves.

Q: WHAT EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED TO PLAY NHL STREET?
A: All NHL STREET participants receive a uniform as part of their registration. These are the only requirements to get in the game. NHL STREET leagues provide balls and goalie equipment, so players don’t need to purchase or bring their own equipment from home. Players are allowed to wear helmets, gloves, shin-pads, mouthguards, and sweatbands if they wish, but these are optional. Skates, elbow and shoulder pads, ice hockey pants, and ice hockey goalie equipment are not permitted. Players may bring and use their own stick if it is suitable for street hockey.
