Games

Games are arranged and played on an informal basis. Most  games are played against other local and national recreational teams on a home and away schedule.

Games usually take place on a weekend, and we can also arrange a 'Double Header'  if required. The format of most games is 3 x 20 minute periods, stop-time unless restrictions apply. Please check the Schedules pages for our available games.

Do We Play  Checking Or Non-Checking Hockey??

The Newcastle Coyotes are  registered with the EIHA Recreational Section, and play to the EIHA and IIHF rules which means full checking, however we have many games where we are willing to play non-checking if it means a game. We have played in many games in Scotland which operate a ‘Non-Checking’ policy, so we can also entertain this.
