Give yourself the edge!

Join us for the best 3 on 3 action in Montreal!

Since we opened in 1998, we have made 3 on 3 hockey our priority. Our adult league runs in the fall and winter, so it’s easy to keep your skills sharp each week!

We have leagues for different levels of play, meaning your team can find the right spot to challenge for the Cup! Our expertise in running an efficient and professional league makes the PHL the place to be every year!

What makes 3 on 3 hockey so unique?

Speed and scoring!

3 on 3 hockey gives all players the chance to constantly be involved in the game. No matter what position you play, you’ll be on your toes your whole shift!

Since our 3 on 3 rinks are smaller than traditional ice surfaces, there are more chances to score with the game moving at a faster pace. Games are packed with end-to-end action that will be sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Each player can work on their own skill when they get that much time with the puck! The consistent action on the net makes this a great way for goalies to develop their game, too.

WHY choose the YPHL at Excellent Ice Kirkland?

3 on 3 is our specialty!

A place for everyone

We offer A, B, C and D leagues, which means your team can find a place to play no matter your experience level.

Each league generally plays on the same night, which means it’s easier to plan ahead.

Professional staff

We have years of experience under our belt in running a busy league! Schedules and standings are available online, and our League Manager communicate regularly with team captains to make sure the season runs smoothly. Plus, all games are officiated by qualified referees.

Work hard, play hard

When you join one of our 3 on 3 leagues, not only do you get to hang with your teammates after the work day is done, but you get to hone your skills in a little friendly competition every week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teams can have a maximum of four players on the ice at a time, meaning three skaters and one goaltender. All players must be registered on their team.

Yes, no problem! đź‘Ť

However, it is up to the player to manage their schedule, as it is highly likely that at some point in the season there will be a schedule conflict between the teams. We cannot reschedule games due to a player’s absence.

Sorry, we cannot provide goaltenders or players to registered teams.

Please ask your manager. Each team divides their team registration fee differently according to how many players they have and their individual circumstances. Team managers are responsible for their team fees.

We make every effort to balance tiers during the exhibition period to make sure tiers are competitive. As with any sport, both wins and losses are to be expected during the season.

If there is a noticeable disparity between your team and the rest of its tier, to the point where it is affecting morale in either your team or the other teams, we may choose to move you to another tier during the season to maintain a competitive field of play.

Note that since 3 on 3 hockey is higher scoring, a larger score differential is not uncommon.

For example, we would not move a team if it were experiencing a losing streak of 3-5 goals for much of the season, but spent a lot of time touching the puck and making advances. However, if a team is consistently beating every other team by 12+ goals and fully dominating the game, it could get moved up to another tier (or even age category) to better reflect their level of play. This is up to the league supervisors’ discretion.

No, we do not take schedule requests for games.

We do not take free agent registrations for the adult league.

Any registration received after the deadline will be placed on a waitlist. One of our staff members will contact you after that date if we are able to accommodate your team registration. (Please make sure the email address in your account is up to date.)

We have a zero tolerance policy in our league. We will not tolerate any harassment of players, coaches, officials or staff. This applies to players as well as coaches and spectators.

Anyone who commits hurtful acts on our premises may face suspension or expulsion from the league or facility. There is no refund for games missed due to such behaviour.

Remember: We all have to go to work or school in the morning!
