The Recreational Stream involves the formation of non-tiered teams that play through the Edmonton Federation Hockey League (EFHL) Recreation Division. The players will vary from beginners that are learning basic hockey skills to those that have more experience. This is a lower cost, lower commitment option for those players who are interested in a more casual approach to hockey, and thus does not feature a heavy focus on player development. Recreation teams play games only, and do not hold practices.
