Spring 3 on 3 FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What is the cost? $3000/U7-13 team & $3200/U15-18. 50% payment required with registration. 1^st teams to pay their deposit get 1^st choice of jersey color & team name. Payments can be made by e-transfer only to [email protected] We require the team payments to come in all together.

2. How do I register a team? Login into www.rpmhockey.com, if you don’t have an account, you will need to ‘create account’, once you receive your confirmation email, you can login. After logging in, click on ‘Leagues’ and then tab over to ‘Registration’. You will only need your ‘Team Name’ and ‘Division’ to start. Once your team is confirmed by our office, you can start to add players to your roster. We cannot have duplicate team names, even if teams are in different divisions. The 1^st teams to register get to pick their names 1^st.

3. How many players are we allowed?

Hockey 2, 3 & 4 (U6-9) are allowed to dress 9 players + 1 goalie per game.

Atom to Midget (U11-18)divisions are allowed to dress 6 players + 1 goalie per game.

Teams can carry any number of players on their rosters, but they are limited to dressing the above number of players per game.

Girls teams are allowed to dress 1 extra skater.

If you have a Girls Team – it is your responsibility to let RPM know. Girls teams play 1 division lower and need to order & pay for 1 extra jersey.

4. How do the Divisions work?

Players must register in the Division they played Minor Hockey in during the 2024/25 season. For example: if a player played Bantam (U15) this past season, they would register in Bantam for Spring 3 on 3. Players can play up a division (a PeeWee player can play Bantam) but not down a division (a Bantam player cannot play PeeWee).

5. How do I add players to my roster? Login to www.rpmhockey.com, After you have registered your team, and RPM has confirmed it, you will need to go to login & click on ‘Registrations’:

You will see a list of the Spring 3 on 3 teams you have managed. Click on a team name will bring you to that team’s information page. On the management tab, you can then edit the roster of your team.To add a player, you click the “Add Player to Roster” button.

The easiest way to add players to your roster is ask parents to make sure they have an account with www.rpmhockey.com and their players are added under MY RPM ‘players’.

You will be required to match the player’s first & last name (as they are listed in RPM’s database – spelling must be correct), as well as their birthdate and email on their account

** Note: if the player is not in our database you need to provide an email address for the guardian(s). The guardian will then be asked to fill out the contact/emerg info & player info for the registrant for the team. They will then be auto-added and confirmed to the roster.

Once a team manager has found and added a player to a team roster, the player’s parents/guardians/account owner will be sent an email asking them to confirm the players spot on the team. Players need to be on your roster before playing, they do not need to be ‘confirmed’. Don’t panic if your players are not ‘confirmed’, they just need to be on the roster to play.

6. Jersey Info

U6-9 will receive 10 jerseys #1-10

U11-18 will receive 7 jerseys #1-7

Girls teams need to order & pay for 1 extra jersey, as they can dress 1 extra player. Girls teams should also request jerseys sizes for the division the girls are currently playing minor hockey.

We do not put name bars on jerseys, organizers can arrange name bars if they like. Once you pick up your jerseys, you can sort out the sizes and numbers and then arrange the name bars.

Jersey Colors: Your team will have their choice in jersey color, 1^st paid, 1^st color picked. All jerseys come with the 3 on 3 logo on the front and a number on the back.

Colors include: white, grey, black, yellow, orange, red, maroon, ice blue, royal blue, teal, navy blue, kelly green, dark green, pink and purple. Jersey colors provided will depend on supply available.

No additional logos are permitted on RPM 3 on 3 jerseys.
All teams must wear the RPM 3 on 3 jerseys provided.

Subs should wear a similar color to team jerseys or a pinnie will be provided.

Can we get a Spare Jersey for our Subs? Additional jerseys are $35 if ordered before Feb 15, $45 after Feb 15.

7. Do we need a certified coach for 3 on 3? You do not need to be a certified coach for 3 on 3…you just need someone to manage the team (collect player info and payment and pass along schedules and league info).

8. How do I pay for my team?. Payment is by etransfer to [email protected]. In the message put ‘Team Name/Division/Team Organizer’.

9. How many games do we play? Each team is guaranteed a minimum of 12 games from April 5-June 22/25. Some weekends your team may have a ‘Bye’ (no game) and other weekends you may have a ‘Double Header’ (2 games on the same day).

10. What if one of our players is sick or away? Teams can use substitute players, but they must be in the same age group (division) or younger than the other players on the team. For liability reasons, all substitutes must be registered (name, address, phone #, birthdate, email) online (on your roster) with RPM prior to the game. Some teams charge subs a fee and refund it back to the player missing, others don’t charge subs, it is a team/manager decision.

11. Do we need our own goalie gear? Yes, you can generally borrow or rent the goalie gear from your Minor Hockey team or Association for U6-9. Generally, U11 and up teams have a dedicated goalie. 

If you are struggling to find a goalie – you might want to consider charging all the players a little extra and then the goalie plays for free.

We will send out a goalie sub list before the start of the season if needed.

12. What days/times will our games be held?

We won’t really know what days/times teams will play until all the teams are registered. Below are approximate times.

U7/8 Hockey 2/3- Saturdays 10:00am-2:30pm
U9 - Hockey 4 - Saturdays -11:30am-4:00pm
U11 - Atom - Saturdays noon-5:00pm or Sundays 8:30am-12:30pm
U13 - Peewee - Sundays 8:30am-5:00pm
U15-18 - Bantam/Midget - Saturdays 2:00-9:00pm or Sundays 1:00pm-6:00pm

13. Are the divisions tiered? The 1^st 4 weeks of play will be tiering games. After the 1^st 4 weeks, the strongest teams will play in one tier and weaker teams will play in the other tier. Once the tiering games are done, we will post the next 4 weeks. Occasionally we have to re-teir after 8 weeks again for the final 4 weeks.

14. How does it work for Girls teams? Girls teams generally play 1 division lower in Spring 3 on 3 than they do in their regular season. A Bantam Girls team should play in the Peewee Division. Girls teams are allowed to dress 1 extra skater, so Hockey 2-4 can dress 10 skaters and Atom-Midget can dress 7. If Girls teams get boy subs, they should not dress an extra skater.

Girls teams will need to purchase an extra jersey ($35 if ordered before Feb 15) for their extra player.

We do not form teams, if you do not have a team, we run a Pond Hockey program for U7-11, where you will play 3 on 3 gamaes each weekend vs other Pond Hockey players in the program.
