Partnering with NHL STREET for a new local Airdrie Ball Hockey Club and Summer league!

​THE STREET LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT!
Introducing the AIRDRIE CYCLONES BALL HOCKEY Club and our new NHL STREET Summer Ball Hockey League!​
​
NHL STREET brings new style, energy, and gameplay to the sport of hockey. We’re creating an affordable, neighbourhood-based model that gives kids everywhere an opportunity to learn and play.

NHL STREET is designed to provide kids and their families the best of what youth sports can be: having fun, staying active, making friends, and creating great memories.

That’s why the NHL is inviting you to join a local street hockey league, where kids of all skill levels can learn and play.

When you join NHL STREET™, you can expect a fast-paced game that teaches teamwork, creativity, and resilience.

Created with parents in mind, we’re ensuring the pressure, schedules, and costs typically associated with hockey (and other youth sports) are kept in check.

No ice. Limited rules. Unlimited fun. Discover hockey more accessible and affordable than ever before.
