General Questions:
I'm new to hockey. What equipment is needed to play?
Here's a list of the gear you'll need to get your child, or yourself, in the game:
Where can I buy hockey gear?
Pure Hockey and Hockey Monkey are popular retailers for new inline hockey gear. Dick's Sporting Goods may fit some of your needs but isn't typically a "one stop shop" for roller.
If you're interested in secondhand equipment in great condition, check out SidelineSwap.com. TVIHA also has a storage bin with donated gear, which can save your wallet a pretty penny if you can find what you need in the right size! If you're interested in checking out TVIHA's gear, please email Jon Stephens at RinkManager@TVIHA.com and set up a day and time to meet him at the rink!
What happened to the School League?
The JV and Varsity "School League" was replaced by the Advanced Division in Fall 2024 due to several reasons, including:
The Advanced Division was a huge success, and we are excited to continue with this format moving forward. In addition, we have decided to discontinue the Middle and Elementary "School Leagues" for the winter season as well. Instead, beginning in the spring of 2025, we will focus on our Premier Division, which has proven to be both competitive and effective for these age groups.
Questions Regarding the 2025 Season:
What's going on with the Ronald Reagan rink?
The Ronald Reagan Sports Park rink will be undergoing some very exciting renovations starting at the beginning of the year. New installations will include sport court flooring, a roof, and brand new boards! This huge project is slated to run from January-June 2025. During this time, our league will be sharing the rink at Margarita Community Park with two local roller derby organizations. TVIHA is committed to collaborating with these two groups to ensure adequate rink time for all.
What will January - June 2025 look like for TVIHA players?
Our "Spring pre-season" will involve one practice a week on Tuesdays or Thursdays, by age group for 8 weeks, along with occasional scrimmages on Saturdays. This structure will help prepare players for the start of the spring season, which will begin in mid-March. We anticipate a spring division structured around 6U, 9U, 12U, Premier,13+, and Advanced divisions. If we don't have enough Advanced players registered, we will consider 14U and 17U divisions.
We are also looking into scheduling some Ironman games on one or two Saturdays during, but separate from, the pre-season, which we hope will be an exciting addition to the season.
Spring season will begin in mid-March and run through mid-June.
Key Dates:
Why did TVIHA change the division format? What happened to 8U and 10U?
The divisions for seasons moving forward (starting in January 2025) will be 6U, 9U, 12U, Premier, 13+ and Advanced (if enough Advanced players register for Spring.) Many of you may be wondering why this change was made. When the Premier division was added in the Fall of 2024, the remaining divisions were subsequently left with fewer teams. The Board of Directors decided to merge 8U and 10U as an effort to alleviate some of the 3 team divisions.
