PERSONS UNDER 18 ARE PERMITTED TO PLAY WITH PARENTAL OR GARDIANSHIP PERMISSION ONLY. It is very important to understand the risks associated with minors and adults skating together. This is especially true if the minor is inexperienced or limited in stature.

If you are a minor (person less than 18 years old) you are not permitted to play in these events without the permission of a parent or legal guardian.
