D-league (or Developmental League) is for players of limited skill who have played little or no competitive hockey, or who have played for less than approximately 4 years. This league is welcoming players from our introductory adult hockey program, and former players who haven't skated in a while.
Players must be 18 or older, with exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
Rostered men's league players or players who have played on travel teams, college, juniors, or professionally are not eligible to play.
If you would like more information to play on the men's league, which is a mixed A, B, and C league, please contact me or visit www.arkansashockey.org.

We will play by USA Hockey rules.

In the event of a tie after regulation play, the game will remain a tie.
The referee is the authority and has the final say in all matters.
We have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. Abuse of the referee or others or fighting will not be tolerated. You will be asked to leave.
Please view the USA Hockey video on the new standards of play. It's only about 11 minutes long and shows examples of legal and illegal plays, like hooking and slashing. The link to the page is:
