Do I need to attend evaluations? Yes. However, if the division coordinator and all of the coaches know how you play hockey, you may be excused from evaluations.

What about goalies? We are always looking for goalies, especially experienced ones. You receive discounts if you want to be a dedicated goalie. We have all of the gear but if you have your own, then you will receive further discounts. (see registration form)

Do I get my own jersey? Every player gets to wear a Delta Revolution jersey. This jersey must be returned at the end of the season or you will be charged $75. You are not allowed to attach a name bar to any part of the jersey.

When can I register? You can register any time up to the start of evaluations. Early bird rates apply until after March 1st.  Do not be disappointed!  Register early to be assured of a spot.

If I don't like roller hockey, can I quit? Yes. Although we are sure you will love it, you can quit at any time. The refund schedule works this way. You must notify the registrar (Sylvia McCullough (604) 946-2841) directly.
After the first evaluation - full refund.
After second evaluation and before April 30th - 50% refund.
After April 30th and before May 15th - 25% refund.
After May 15th - no refund.

What is parent participation? We need parent volunteers. The number of teams we have depends on the number of coaches that volunteer. Every team needs a Coach, an Assistant Coach, a Team Manager, two Tmekeepers and volunteers for various functions. In addition to these positions we need one Division Coordinator for every division. (without the Division Coordinator the division cannot operate) Remember, a minimum of 4 hours participation per player registered. Check out the job descriptions on this website.

What does NON-CONTACT mean? There is no body checking in roller hockey. Incidental contact is ok. Cross checking from behind is very dangerous and considered a major infraction. At the referee's discretion he/she may award a game misconduct. Fighting is strictly forbidden. Fighting results in a major penalty, a game misconduct and an additional game suspension. If a player is in another fight then the player is suspended for the remainder of the season.

Are there offsides or icing? No. This is a wide open game using only 4 skaters plus a goalie.

How long are the games? The mite, squirt, peewee and bantam divisions play 2 X 20 minute running clock games with a stop clock for the final two minutes of the second period.  There is a 10 minute warm up.

Where can I find/sell used hockey gear? You can check out our bulletin board on this website or you can check out Sports Junkies or Cheapskates in Vancouver.

Do I have to be skilled to play in this league? Absolutely not. This is a fun league and all players are welcome. All you need is team spirit and a willingness to learn and have fun. Players will be evaluated and placed on teams that are evenly matched.

Can I have a friend on the team? Unfortunately, we are discontinuing this practice due to the difficulty of maintaining balanced teams within each division.

Can I play on one of the Tournament Select Teams?  Anyone can try out for the tournament teams but only one team from each of the following divisions will be selected to represent Delta Revolution.  Mite, Squirt, Peewee, Bantam and Midget-(17 year olds). 

Can I play in the next division up?   If space available, only the older boys and girls from their current division can be considered for move-up. (eg. the older age Mite player could be moved into the Squirt Division)
