The over age 50 division or “C” level division is called “The Legends”. Players are not required to be 50 years of age just play at that more relaxed level. This league wears WHL (World Hockey Association) uniforms. The levels of play could be considered B or C. This division was new to South Coastal in 2007.

The fall season starts in late August and runs to December. The winter season begins in early January and goes to May. Games will be played in the following time slots only: Sunday nights at 6:40, 7:20, 7:50, 8:30, 9:00 and 9:40PM. 15 regular season games are played with up to 17 games with playoffs.

We use both sides of the arena on Sunday nights. All games are played on Sunday evenings only. Teams rotate through all time slots so you will play games in all time slots evenly throughout the season.

Games feature: 2 Referees; 1 Timekeeper; two 18 minute stop time periods (as time and other rules allow); 1:30 penalties; weekly league and individual stats. The league has staff on hand for cleaning of locker rooms and equipment purposes and provides pucks and extensive uniform services (see SCHL Uniform story) League management is on site for all games to answer any questions or work with/cover for paid staff.

Our 9PM game each week is broadcast by the South Coastal Sports radio network. It can be heard on WWW.Southcoastal.com or you can listen and see past games on our website. (See listen to or see past games on our home page) Games can be seen on local access TV in most communities.

There are generally very limited spots available for new players (less than a 5% turnover each year). Over 65% of the members have played for over 10 consecutive years. Tryouts are held before each session to determine the ability level of players who join as individuals. We will try to keep players together with friends who travel together where it can be done keeping parity in mind. A one time uniform cost is necessary for new players, which covers numbered and lettered home and away jerseys and socks. Players who are traded from team to team by the league for parity reasons receive new uniforms for that team at no charge. Black hockey pants are also required along with helmets and full face cages. Black or White helmets must be worn with only black helmets allowed in the Legends division...
