Policy on Spares

While Rusty Blades regular skaters must be at least 45 years old, the possibility of becoming a Rusty Blades spare is available to skaters between the ages of 42 and 44. However, such skaters must, without exception, be approved by the Board of Directors before being added to the list of spares. For more information on this policy, contact any Board Member.

Equipment Loan

Thanks to the generous donations of several of our players, the Rusty Blades Ice Hockey Club now has equipment available for loan to prospective players who wish to try hockey but do not want to make a large initial investment in equipment. So, if you have ever had the urge to play but do not have equipment, contact us now to get outfitted and skate with the Rusty Blades.

Jerseys

A local supplier for Rusty Blades jerseys is being sought. As soon as they are available for order, regulars will be required to purchase both red and gold jerseys. Jerseys will be provided for spares who do not have their own. Information on ordering jerseys should be available soon.
