What is 3 on 3 Youth Cross Ice Hockey?  Cross ice hockey is specifically designed to provide fast results in a fun environment.  Cross-Ice Hockey is a system whereby skaters play the game along one-third of the width of the rink rather than the full length. The smaller playing area increases the players' need to move faster and gain better control of the puck, and the players receive more touches of the puck than in a full-ice game. Teams consist of roughly eight players and participate in a 3-on-3 game lasting one hour.  Players not on the ice will sit on the divider pads until the 2 minute buzzer sounds, signifying time to change lines.

With 3 on 3 youth cross ice, kids touch the puck more often and get more scoring opportunities.  Players are always involved in the play and learn to read and react quicker.  Goalies see 5 to 6 times more shots.  Skatetown’s 3 on 3 program is designed to continue the development of players.

Players must be age 17 or under.  Cost $10.  No cross ice currently scheduled.
