2024 MVHL Draft Registration

C League

The target for C league play is a novice or advanced novice player as defined below:

Novice

This player is a beginner in the truest sense of the word. He/she has begun playing the game as an adult and may only have one to five years of playing experience. The basic skills of the game, ie: skating, shooting and passing are in their infancy and are the main focus of their development.

Advanced Novice

This player may have three or more years of playing experience mainly as an adult. He/she is showing improvement and comfort with the basic skills of the game. Forward skating improved, but transitions are still uncomfortable, ie: crossovers with some ability to skate backwards.

B/C Crossover

A player in this category may be nearing the upper limit of talent desirable for the C League, but is at an entry level for B league play.

Bronze

He/she may be a less experienced adult recreational player with some youth hockey playing experience up to Bantam house level. The player has limited understanding of where they should be positioned on the ice. Forward and backward skating may be somewhat strong, but maneuverability and transition still needs work.

B League

Intermediate

He/she might be an experienced adult recreational player and may have played up to midget or high school.

B/A Crossover

A player in this category would possess the skills to potentially be effective at the A level. Individual factors such as age may help place this player successfully.

Silver

This player is an advanced level adult player with high level basic hockey skills. He/she has a very high understanding of team play and where they should be positionally on the ice. Forward and backward skating skills are strong with good maneuverability and transition. They may have played at the high school varsity level in a traditional hockey area or non varsity college level.

A League

Gold

This player has mastered the basic skills of the game and would be considered an elite level adult player. He/she has probably played at the highest levels of organized hockey, ie: professionally anywhere in the world, or division 1 and 3 college hockey. Also, in this category would be junior players from the United States and Canada.
