Kenneth runs mens beer league hockey very well.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for hockey families already equipped with full gear and skaters looking for affordable public sessions in the Royal Oak area. The no-concession setup means packing snacks for longer visits. Sticks & Pucks sessions suit experienced youth players; casual skaters should attend public sessions instead and confirm equipment requirements in advance.

“Crappy and gross shower. No concession.”

“Took my 14 year old AAA hockey player to sticks and pucks. Didn’t bring all his equipment because no other rink requires full equipment. He can skate better than most of the adults on the ice as well as he is the size of an 18 year old. Most ridiculous rule ever. Wasted an hour of our night going back and forth. Find other places to go until they change this rule.”
