1. Where are games played?
We have two conferences to pick from for Fall 2026. Fairfax conference plays out of Lake Fairfax (FAIRFAX), and the Loudoun conference plays out of Trailside (LOUDOUN). Each conference will play internally leading up to a conference final, followed by a season final involving cross-conference play. Both rinks are outdoor, uncovered, tiled, and lit.
*we may do some cross conference games during regular season requiring a bit more travel*

All skill levels are welcome. As we grow we will offer more skill level divisions in future seasons. All teams have a mix of skill to keep play fun and even.

5. What equipment is required?
To ensure player safety on our outdoor surface, the following equipment is mandatory:
