⚑ The Twist: Hockey Fives... Plus One!

We have taken the lightning-fast blueprint of Hockey Fives and dialed it up. More passing options, more tactical freedom, and absolutely zero heavy padding to hide behind. Fast pace, big laughs, no kitted goalies, total chaos.

πŸ‘₯ 6 vs 6 Format

Six players on the turf per team. No designated, kitted goalkeeper allowed on the pitch.

πŸ¦… The Flying Goalie

Anyone can defend the goal, but NO player may use hands, feet, or body. Defend with your stick alone!

🧱 Board Advantage

Perimeter boards keep the ball in play constantly. No time wasted on side-lines or long corners.

🎯 Score From Anywhere

Unlike traditional hockey, you can score from anywhere on the pitchβ€” once you cross the halfway line!

🎯 Round-robin Format

Games - 10 minutes, one way, fast paced, non stop. With each team playing at least 4 games.

🎯 Team Management

While umpires will be provided, each team will need a parent to manage their players.

πŸ›‘οΈ Safety First (Always!)

We love wild trick shots and crazy team spirit, but we love your teeth and shins more. No exceptions will be made for our safety guidelines. If you aren't wearing the gear, you don't cross the baseline.

  • Gum Guards: Mandatory for all players. No mouth protection, no play.
  • Shin Pads: Must cover the lower leg fully before stepping onto the Astro.
  • The Knee-High Rule: To keep everyone safe without a padded goalie, the ball may not be lifted intentionally above knee height unless taking a direct shot at goal where no defender is in the line of fire.

πŸ₯³ Fun Spirit: Dress Up & Get Funky

🎭 Dress To Impress

This is a festival of hockey, not the Olympics! We want to see neon tutus, retro 80s headbands, matching superhero capes, or custom-printed kits. Prize up for grabs for the Best Dressed Team.
