This is the website for the Summerside Recreational Hockey League. You can check out the site for rosters, stats, news and other information about our league.

If you are looking to play, you may contact league president and site administrator, Aaron Doyle at any time. We do accept new players on registration night, however we do not accept new teams. We hold our registration night in early October and our league begins play the first week of November. We take a short break at Christmas and then finish up at the end of March.

The SRHL is very proud to host the 'Shockers Mardi-Gras Recreational Hockey Tournament' every spring(*March 26th - 28th, 2010) and is now becoming known as one of the largest recreational hockey tournaments in Eastern Canada. Every year this tournament grows in popularity and this season is no exception as we've been receiving inquiries from all over North America. This tournament is open to both male and female teams and provides an excellent rec hockey/sociallizing atmosphere. The SRHL is your #1 headquarters for rec hockey fun and Shock's Mardi Gras is a tournament every "true" rec hockey team should participate in at some point.

The Summerside Recreational Hockey League was established in 1967/1968, by then league president, Ron MacArthur and was at the time, the only rec hockey league of it's kind in North America. The four team, recreational league was developed to promote fun and community fellowship within an "open draft" hockey organization. We are one of the oldest rec hockey leagues east of Montreal and have played continuously since 1967.

The league is open to anyone, 19 years of age or older. There are no restrictions on skill level; all players are ranked by a number system, following our annual rookie game dubbed - The Ice-Breaker Challenge. A league draft is then held, where team reps select from the registered base of players to ensure four well-balanced teams. Balancing of teams promotes sportsmanship, fun and competitiveness within the league.

This 2009-2010 season marks over fortytwo years of continuous play for the SRHL. There are very few, if any, rec hockey leagues in North America that can boast about that and it's something to be very proud of. Here's a brief outline of the league.

- Each team plays twice weekly at 'Credit Union Place' in Summerside. 
- All of our games are officiated by one referee and one time/score keeper.
- Our season consists of approximately 34 games, including a play-off championship.
- At season's end, an awards banquet is held at the Heritage Pub in Summerside.
- Enrollment in the league is limited to 52 players.

Each year, team reps will draft players on to their teams, where completely new teams are formed. As a result, players will get to know each other and in many cases, would have played together at one time or another in past seasons.

In mid December, a league executive meeting is held to ensure that the teams are indeed well balanced and if needed, trades would then occur.

All major infractions result in suspensions. Any unsportsmanlike incident will go under review and guilty parties will be dealt with accordingly. All suspensions may be appealed to the disciplinary committee, which consists of team reps and league officers. Disciplinary committee's final judgement will stand.

After some discussion in the dressing room tonight...by some members of the SRHL...i thought i should send this Survey out to you...the members of the SRHL...to get some input...Would you be interested in playing 2-3 games per year on Friday or Saturday nights instead of Sunday night. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
