Monday night hockey is designed to give hockey players a friendly, fun, and non-threatening introduction to league play. Referees will keep the game clean, with strict enforcement of no-contact and no-slapshot rules.

Women are also welcome to play on Division Three games on Wednesday nights.

Garth Butcher, head of the hockey program, has a long-term goal of ensuring the growth of the women's hockey program in Bellingham.

For the 2007-2008 season, Division Four games are on Monday nights.

Are they discussing the game plan or the beer plan?
