The Nanaimo Islanders have been playing ice hockey on Vancouver Island since 1996. We are women aged 19 and beyond who enjoy playing recreational and/or competitive hockey in a supportive team atmosphere. We are comprised of beginners, intermediates and veterans and welcome new players.

There is a Monday Night House League, comprised of at least 4 teams. If you are a beginner hockey player,looking to develop your skills and want to understand how to play the game, House League will offer you the opportunity to learn to play hockey in a game setting. Players who would like ice time and have experience are also welcome to participate in this recreational ice time. Each team will have a mixture of beginners,intermediate and advanced players. Teams will have the option of playing occasional away games in Parksville, as well.

The Nanaimo Islanders Intermediate Team This level of play developed out of our Monday night recreational league in the 2008/2009 season. With a year or two under your belt, players who are in need of challenging their skills in formal game situations will enjoy this type of competition. You should have some basic skills at passing, shooting and carrying the puck. You will develop a greater understanding of positional play through competitive situations and some practices. This is our newest division and will continue to evolve to suit the needs of players looking for their first experiences in organized game situations. NOTE: this level is also open to individuals who have a higher level of hockey skill and/or experience, but are not able to commit to the more competitive schedule of the Veteran level.

The Nanaimo Islanders Veteran Team This team is designed for intermediate and advanced players who are committed to playing regular home and away games. Often referred to as the "Travel Team", players at this level should expect a high skill level and be prepared to travel out of town.. See link to schedule.

Mail the registration form, player contract and medical form (all THREE forms are required to complete your registration) plus your cheque to:

If you are interested in playing and missed our Sept registration contact The Registrar, for inquiries about late registration.
