Walsh Invites Families to Fall Dek Hockey Jamboree

Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh invites families to watch the Town of Oyster Bay Youth Deck Hockey League Fall Jamboree and register for the Spring Season on Saturday, November 13th from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Ellsworth Allen Park in Farmingdale. Dek hockey is a variation of traditional ice hockey, where the games are played sans skates on the ‘dek’ of an ice rink after the ice has melted away. After an exciting fall season, members of the Town of Oyster Bay Youth Dek Hockey League will face off for the championship at the Jamboree on November 13th.

 

“The Town’s Youth Dek Hockey League provides children aged 6-14 with the opportunity to improve their hockey skills alongside our expert coaching staff, learn important life lessons like good sportsmanship, and make new friends,” said Councilwoman Walsh. “Dek Hockey is a really fun variation of traditional ice hockey, and I am excited for the boys and girls of our Town who will compete in the Jamboree!”

 

While the Jamboree takes place, families can register their children for the Spring 2022 Youth Dek Hockey League. Open to Boys and Girls aged 6-14, the Spring program will feature 10 games and practices over a 10 week period, concluding with a playoff competition: the Jamboree. The Spring Season will begin in April 2022 at Allen and Syosset-Woodbury Community Park. Registration will take place at the Allen Park Community Room (45 Motor Ave, Farmingdale) on Saturday, November 13th from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

 

The program will cost $95 for residents, and $110 for non-residents. Each child will need to provide their own equipment, a list of which will be supplied upon registration. Families must provide proof of residency and a copy of their child’s birth certificate at registration. Only checks or money orders made payable to “Town of Oyster Bay” will be accepted. If a session is canceled due to inclement weather, make-up day(s) will be attempted. For more information, please call 516-433-7465 x8234.
