where can i play stick & puck/drop in hockey in vancouver?
 

the biggest issue is time

i can go to work the latest at 10, or i can be off earliest at 5

i've been doing stick and puck at richmond ice center for the last month so i've gotten used to going a couple times a week

don't want to spend more than 7-8 bucks each time either and hopefully get at least 2 hours of ice time

Edit: burnaby is an option as well

Richmond Ice center is your best bet, as they have one everyday from mon-fri 9 a.m to 3 p.m You can also check 8 rinks as they have stick and puck early in the morning on the weekends. But their ice-time is usually really shot

ice center is not an option considering i work in yaletown and would have to be at work by 10 am

i live around broadway station so going all the way to richmond doesn't make much sense

8rinks is from 1045-1215 & 245-415 so that wont work for you. Its only 1.5 hrs and costs like $8. I go there all the time, but i might consider richmond now, since the ice time is longer.

Does richmond limit the number of people on the ice?

richmond has a max limit of 30 people on the ice. however it usually doesn't reach that amount.

anakin: if i still remember richmond has early bird drop in starting at 7 or 730 for 1.5hrs for free.

this is the schedule for all the Vancouver Parks Board rinks

this is Canlan on the North Shore.

i use both of those regularly.

yeah i'm not sure if i can show that kind of dedication, it'd be alot of driving as well

Drop in Hockey

trout lake
Riley Park
Sunset Arena
Killarney

I know they aren't monday - friday, so check their schedule on the park boards rink site

oh...i didn't read tiume. the only drop in to my knowledge at evening is 6:30 on mondays at Richmond Ice Centre.

I beleive u can even call in advance to sign up.

Im pretty sure trout lake and killarney are closed for reno right now

isnt trout lake and killarney closed cause they're replacing their ice rink?

ya, killarney and trout lake are closed due to renovations

Vancouver Drop-In Hockey and Stick & Puck Directory :D

RinkRat.ca has drop-in hockey or stick and puck times for most ice arenas in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, etc.

Any places that don't require full gear?

You don't need full gear for stick and puck usually..just recommended.

Yup, trout lake gym closed for renos.

I play at Hasting Community Centre gym in Vancouver.

I recommend Richmond Ice Center, I go 2-3 times a week
I usually stay for usually at least 4 hours, I pack a lunch and everything and it's only $6
I stay long cuz I drive out from Surrey, I might as well stay long if I'm gonna drive far right?
there is a limit, but it's really hit or miss if it gets full or not but people do leave all the time
I wouldnt be surprised if Ive played a mini game or spoken to any of you guys there
