ECIHL 2022-23 Season Champions
All Players
1. No alcohol in the Pensacola Bay Center!
2. DO NOT use any locker room that the youth league is using.
3. No tobacco use of any kind in the Pensacola Bay Center
4. Do not leave trash in the bench area and clean up your area in the locker room. The PBC will charge us a cleaning fee, which will reduce the number of games played.
5. ECIHL Plays Blue Line Icing...you must get the puck out of your defensive zone before shooting down the attacking end zone.
6. On weekend games, there will be public skate before our first ice session--follow guidance from the PBC staff for access to the locker rooms.
7. No shooting pucks until the Zam doors are closed.
B League
Do not use the penalty box to the right side of the scorekeeper unless directed there by the referee--we cannot access that box from off ice so there is no way to ensure the door is properly closed.
C League:
Games are pickup style. If you don't already have ECIHL jerseys, please make sure you bring a dark and a light-colored jersey.
The ECIHL is a USA HOCKEY affiliated adult league (18+) serving the entire Emerald Coast Area (Mississippi to Panama City, FL). We have all skill levels from beginner on up. ALL PLAYERS must have a current USA HOCKEY (covering fall/spring season) membership to play.
The ECIHL Board reserves the right to move players between B/C league so a min/max skill level will be monitored and enforced in both leagues.
