Beyond beer league.
The Chill began with a simple idea: create the kind of hockey league we'd want to play in ourselves. Organized. Competitive. Welcoming. Fun. A league where players are respected, community matters, and the game and our players always come first. Today, that vision continues to guide everything we do. No matter your hockey background you'll find a home with us, because hockey is more than a game. It's a family.
That's what we're building together.

"I love the “vibe” of The Chill. Keeping fun front and center without taking away from competition, teamwork, etc. The players make the league great. The dedication of our Commish is second to none and it shows ALL THE TIME. Truly makes for greatness in the league."

Testimonials
Hear from our players about their experiences in The Chill how it has positively impacted them.
"The environment to be able to improve and learn with the support and help from more advanced players along with the general team atmosphere on the bench and in the locker room."
"Doing my best to get all my friends playing in The Chill too. It is very easy when there is a commissioner behind the scenes making it a top tier experience for everyone involved!"
"The speed and competitiveness of the players/teams is perfect for adult league hockey. It’s relatively fast and most of the players care enough about winning without being too serious. It seems most everyone wants to play hard but understands we all have to go to work the next day.I enjoy getting to play teams that match ours in skill, but it’s also fun having to go out and play a team that might be a little above your team’s skill level every now and then. It lets you know you’re still alive. The game times are perfect for adult league hockey, finding sub players/goalies is pretty easy when you’re short handed, and the Commish runs the league like an adult hockey league should be run. Perfect, 11/10, no complaints, will play here again
"Thank you for making this league. Thank you for listening to your players' feedback, thank you for all your time and effort!"
