The league contains seven divisions in two conferences, the North and the South. Teams are divided by approximate skill level. Division 1 is for elite players who may have played in college or higher, and Division 7 is typically for those who have never skated before, never played hockey, or both.

D1 – Advanced - Former or current collegiate NCAA Division I - III, club players or those with formal hockey training of 10+ years

D2 – Lower Advanced - Former high school, collegiate club players or those with formal hockey training of 8+ years

D3 – High intermediate - Former high school or long time adult players or those with formal hockey training of U14

D4 – Intermediate - Little to no high school experience but wow they can skate with a puck and lift with ease, may have hockey up to U-12

D5 – Low intermediate - Hey, they can carry the puck, look up and pass, skate backwards, lift the puck for a shot about half the time may have had formal hockey training up to U - 8

D6 – Beginner/Novice - Wow, you can totally hockey stop now, you can even send a tape-to-tape pass on occasion. You can transition from front to back without falling, mostly.

D7 – Beginner - How do I tie these skates? Which way do I face when we get on the ice? Why did I wait so long to try this insanely awesome sport?
