“A League for the Rest of Us”

Canadian Beer League was born from the success of Beer League Hockey Practice. We built a community of grown-ups who wanted to learn and improve their game, and then they wanted somewhere to play that carried that same spirit and camaraderie into a competitive space.

If you think you might be too good at hockey to play in Canadian Beer League, you probably are. We encourage players who are new to the game to reach a certain ability level through BLHP and Shinny before joining CBL, but we also discourage people who have a higher level of experience and ability from joining the league. It’s not about age or gender, it’s strictly about ability, and if you’re really good at hockey, there are soooo many other places you could go play, y’know? Our target is novice/intermediate level players who want a fun, friendly environment where they can compete and have a good time. It hasn’t happened too often, but people who don’t fit the bill get booted.

If you’re planning to register, one thing you’ll want to have handy is your Canadian Beer League Player Rating. This helps us make sure we’ve built teams as evenly as possible to start the seasons. Click the button below to take the quiz and remember to write down your number so you don’t forget!
