BRHL Rain Policy for Practices
BRHL practices in the rain (most of the time)! Street hockey, practice in sneakers and full gear is the way to go when it rains! This is a great opportunity for players to improve stickhandling, shooting and game positioning skills. In the event of thunder/lightening practices will be cancelled, otherwise plan to practice.
BRHL Rain Policy for Games
Plan to play! In the event of unsafe skating conditions, BRHL will make a league decision 30 minutes prior to the start of the game to cancel/reschedule games. Coaches will be notified and information will be posted on the web site in as timely a manner as possible.
"We're New. Any Tips on the Gear?"
You don't want to miss Gear Swap!
Gear Swap: It happened April 13, 7 p.m. at the rink at Battle Point Park. If you missed it, let us know. We did have some items left over.
Here's a handy visual gear guide and FAQ!
Evaluation Day 2021 at the Rink at Battle Point Park
May 4
Division 3 (14-17 year olds) - 6:00pm
Make-ups for Division 1 and 2 - 7:00 pm
May 5 (NEW DAY TIME BECAUSE OF RAIN ON THE 3RD)
Division 1 (7-10 year olds) - 5:30 pm
Division 2 (11-13 year olds) - 6:30pm
It is mandatory for all players, regardless of experience or ability. This is an easy 20-minute skate that allows us to create teams with evenly distributed levels of ability. (We also schedule make-up days.)
Please arrive with all required gear, listed below, contained in a single hockey (duffel) bag. If you haven’t gathered all the gear yet, today is the day. Order your missing pieces at InlineWarehouse.com HockeyMonkey.com or HockeyGiant.com. Amazon also has a number of items that can be sent 2-day via Prime. For those of you who can do it, a single trip to Play It Again Sports in Lynnwood and Elevate Sporting in Tacoma will almost always get you fully geared up with lovingly worn gear at a very reasonable price.
Bainbridge Roller Hockey League requires that players wear the following to both practices and games:
- Hockey Helmet, with a protective face cage
- Mouthguard
- Hockey Elbow Pads
- Hockey Shin Guards
- Hockey Gloves
- Roller Hockey Girdle
- Protective Cup (boys, required) or Pelvic Protector (girls, optional)
- InLine Hockey Pants to fit over the shin guards and girdle
- Inline Hockey Skates with softer indoor wheels for new surface
- Wood or composite Hockey Stick, ideally with a composite blade (no plastic blades, please).
Other tips:
- Lighter colored helmets are cooler under the summer sun.
- Ask your dentist if they do free custom sports guards
- Wheels and bearings wear out, especially on our used gear. If you need help getting your skates in working order, just ask!
- Coaches, board members and veteran families have lots of gear experience and we're happy to help!
WE ALWAYS NEED VOLUNTEERS!
Hi Roller Hockey Families,
After our awesome players, the best thing about BRHL is the amazing parent and volunteer community. We are always looking for volunteers to join our board and help the season progress smoothly.
If you are even a tiny bit interested or know someone else who might be a good fit, let us know at info@bihockey.org.
Although any position can be learned, if you have particular experience/interest in these current areas of need, that would be a plus:
Recruiting/social media
Rink maintenance
Snack shack coordinator
Gear manager
It's an informal and fun group with the aim of continuing to create a great hockey experience for our kids in service to the mission of the organization.
