Blackbirds Learn to Play Adult Hockey League

MTIC offers adult hockey leagues for both recreational and competitive players ages 18 and older. The 30 and Over “Draft League” consists of teams drafted as evenly as possible with most games played on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. The “B” and “C” leagues allow for both team and individual entry, with the “B” league being the most competitive. “B” and “C” league games are typically played on Sunday evenings and weeknights. All players must be registered with USA Hockey prior to playing in any league at Midwest. For more information, or to be placed on a team, please contact Zack Kane at midwesthockey06@gmail.com.

Blackbirds Learn to Play Adult Hockey League Rules


We play under USA Hockey Standard of Play, meaning we use and enforce the USA Hockey Rule Book. We modify the rules as we see fit by our league and address them accordingly.

Game Time


  • Each game will begin with a 5 minute warm up starting at the designated starting time.  Games will consist of three 15 minute periods, stop time.  In the event there is no scorekeeper, games will consist of three 22 minute running time periods.
  • The clock shall become running time if the score differential reaches 5 or more goals in the 3rd period.  If the differential becomes less than 5 minutes, the clock will go back to stop time.  Once a game reaches running time, the game clock will only stop for injuries.
  • There will be a 2 minute intermission between periods.
  • Each team will be allowed one 30 second time out per game.
  • In the event of a regular season tie, all league games will be determined but a 3 man shoot out.  If the score is still tied after the 3 man shoot out, a sudden death shootout will determine the winner.
  • All players/teams must have their fees paid or a payment option set up prior to playing in the league. 
  • All players must check in and sign the score sheet prior to every game. The game will not begin until all players have checked in.  The referee may assess a delay of game penalty for any players not signed in prior to the start of each game.
