I'm moving to an area with arenas, but no female adult hockey teams. What all would be involved in getting a league started? (There's about 4 towns nearby that are good potential to start up a small league).|||beyond starting a small game i have no idea|||Start with a group renting ice for pick up. Put up signs in groceries and arenas looking for prospects. It takes about 20 committed people to start a regular pick up game. When you get a committed group of regulars it might be time to look at expanding into a full league.
For a league you will need a convenor and officials. Even a simple four team league requires an arbiter to handle disputes and mediate justice and perceived improprieties.
Good Luck. When these ventures succeed they are worth the effort.|||Put up flyers at your local arenas and places of business. Put ads in newspaper and on internet around the area. Facebook would be a great idea to start a website for your league. Go to open hockey at your rink and start talking to people. Teams really only have to be 7-12 players. When you get enough players, talk to your rink manager and schedule some ice. Later ice time is usually cheaper. Refs are nice to have but not essential. Get a trophy.
Good luck!
