3 v 3 Cross-Ice Development League

Our 3 v 3 Cross-Ice Development League enhances player development by increasing game intensity, puck touches, and situational repetitions, while keeping all players actively involved throughout each shift. Coaches will emphasize puck protection, puck support, and playing both sides of the puck — offense and defense. Players are encouraged to be creative and experiment during games. All divisions are non-checking.

NEW! Added Friday 3 v 3 League: Our 3v3 League has expanded to include both a Friday night division and a weekend (6 Saturdays, 2 Sundays) division! Players are eligible to sign up for 1 or both divisions.

NEW! Decreased 3 v 3 Ice Length: We have decreased our 3 v 3 ice length from 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, allowing us to add Fridays and give all divisions improved start times.

NEW! Decreased 3 v 3 Team Size: With decreasing ice length we have decreased team size to 8 players and 1 goalie

NEW! A & B Lines for Improved Competition: With 8 players per team, players will be divided into two lines of four. Players will rotate evenly within their line. This structure creates more balanced shifts and improves overall competition for all players. Day 1 serves as our evaluation day, during which all players complete a skating timed test. We use these results and Day 1 games to balance teams and establish the lines.

 

🏒 NEW! Payment & Sign-Up Policy

    ⚠️ AAA/AA Level Players: This league is designed for travel-level players, as it assumes participants already possess a strong foundation in skating and puck skills, helping to keep divisions balanced in talent. If your player does not fit that level we highly recommend focusing on foundational skill development for greatest improvement. See one of our many skills programs: Spring/Summer Skill Sessions , Mini Mite Skills & Scrimmage, Mite Skills & Scrimmage Program , Mite Battling & Puck Protection Program , Girls ONLY! Skills & Scrimmage Program .

     

    ⚠️ 2019 Birth Years: 2019 birth years are eligible for both the Mite (2018 – 2019) and/or Mini Mite (2019 – 2020) divisions. It is suggested that lower level/newer 2019 players sign up for the Mini Mite division and that higher level/more experienced 2019 players sign up for the Mite division.

    🏒 How Do We Make the Divisions & Teams?

     

    Players register as individuals and are placed on a team. Teams are organized based on birth year and skill level. On Day #1, players will complete a skating timed test, which—along with Day #1 performance—is used to balance teams accordingly. Requests to play on the same team as friends or teammates will be considered but not guaranteed to maintain balanced and competitive teams.

     

    Each team will consist of 8 players and 1 goalie, with a designated coach from the Mark Zarbo Hockey staff to ensure equal shift rotation and structured gameplay. Each team will be split into an A line and B line (2 groups of 4 players). Players will rotate evenly on their line.

     

    Teams will play two games per ice time, with a 14-game regular season followed by semi-final and final rounds — 16 games total. Each game is 25 minutes long, with 1-minute shifts and player changes on the horn to maintain high tempo and balanced ice time. The final scheduled ice time will include the semi-finals and finals (playoffs).

     

    We take pride in ensuring divisions and teams are as competitive as possible. We carefully review registrations and may contact or move players to maintain balanced divisions. If you have any questions regarding registration, please email mark@markzarbohockey.com.

We will contact you once your registration has been processed to adjust the total and apply the discount.

     

    🏒 Goalie Cost

     

    $150 (8 ice times – 10 hours ice – $15/hour ice)

    To sign up for Bob Janosz Weeklong Programs and/or Mark Zarbo Hockey IQ or Midget Programs as a goalie, visit www.BobJanosz.com

     

    Goalies average over 25 shots per game — that’s nearly 50 shots every ice time. With 3v3 cross-ice play, many shots come from high-danger areas including net drives, breakaways, and 2-on-1s. Goalies looking for a fun, fast-paced, and challenging league with lots of shots and situational repetition will love this format!

    Note: All divisions, except the Mini Mite Division, use full-size nets.
