Draft-League

What is Draft-League?

Draft-League is an independent, invite-only hockey league built for one purpose: high-level competition during the off-season. No politics. No favoritism. Just straight-up 4v4  hockey.

Because we're independent, we control everything. That means no stacked teams, no AA or AAA designations—just the best players in the state, evenly spread across teams to compete hard every game. #BangersOnly

How It Works:

  1. Fill Out the Interest Form – This gets you on our radar for pick-up skates and league invites.

  2. Internal Ranking – Our team ranks all players based on skill, not name or reputation.

  3. Live Draft – Coaches draft players in a live-streamed event. Every player sees when they go off the board—just like the pros.

We want this to be fun, fast, and competitive. This is a place where toe drags, between-the-legs, and Michigan goals aren’t just allowed—they're encouraged. We’re building a safe, challenging, and elite-level environment that lets creativity shine.

No labels. No drama. Just talent.
Draft-League. #BangersOnly

❓Q&A: Everything You Need to Know

What is Draft-League?

Draft-League is a full-ice, 4-on-4, no-offsides league—think roller hockey rules on ice. Fast-paced, possession-focused, high-scoring hockey.

This isn’t summer house hockey. It’s designed for high-end and competitive club players looking to stay sharp, have fun, and compete at a high level during the off-season.

We rank players based on:

  • Pick-up game performance

  • State-level stats

  • Coach feedback

Then, they’re drafted evenly across  balanced teams to ensure competitive parity in every division.
No politics. Just talent.

 How Much Is It?

  • League Fee: TBD

  •  

 Do Players Need to Be Present for the Draft?

Nope!
The Draft is done virtually with coaches in a conference-style call.
We live stream the first 10 rounds so players and families can watch it unfold.

 Can I Join Without Playing in a Pick-Up Game?

Yes!
Even if you haven’t hit a pick-up game, we encourage you to register early. Rankings are also based on:

  • State statistics

  • Coach evaluations

 Age Divisions for Summer 2025

TBD-  We will form divisions after registration.  Birth years that are able to  register are 2018-2010

 

 Game Schedule

Games run over a 10-week season (April–June)
We skate:

  • TBD on Game Day Blocks

 State Finals Tournament:

June 26–28, 2026
Top-seeded teams from each division battle for the Draft-League State Championship.  Our state finals will always be the weekend before 4th of July week. 

 How Many Players Will Be Drafted?

It depends on:

  • Number of pre-draft signups

  • Overall player quality

  • Total teams per division

We aim to keep teams competitive. Once we reach capacity, registration will close.

❗Does Everyone Get Drafted?

We expect everyone who registers will be drafted.
However, if we receive too many signups for the number of available teams, and a player is not drafted, a full refundwill be issued to that family.

 We Need Coaches!

If you're interested in helping shape the future of this league, we want to hear from you.
