In case you have not heard yet, the Ridley Hockey League applied for a grant to help rehab and expand our rink.  We were awarded this grant.  As of late February 2024, the contractor is beginning to expand our rink to size up to a more standardized size for ball hockey.

We are on the Philadelphia Flyers website under Community => Flyers Charities => Our Partners

Stay tuned for when construction is completed.  We will have an event at the rink to kickoff the spring 2024 season!!!

Ridley Hockey League (RHL) is set in Ridley Township in Delaware County (Delco).  The game of ball hockey is on feet, with full equipment.  In a rink with dek tiles. Rules are similar but slightly different than ice hockey.

Location is 213 Bullens Lane, Woodlyn, PA 19094.  Down the hill, behind the Widener softball field.

We help the kids learn the game of ball hockey to grow and play competitive ball hockey.  Our league is for all skillsets from age 4 and up (including adults).

Equipment required is a helmet with full cage (no cage needed for 18+); elbow pads; gloves; shin pads; stick.  We sell both Hagan and Mylec equipment, so you can order through us.

Spring season is from April-June.  Fall season is from September-November. Days for the league are age dependent as well as how many players / teams sign-up each season.

It is about a 2-3 day per week (2-3 hour commitment per week)

We are a USA Ball Hockey sanctioned league.  The rulebook is from USABH. All refs are trained by USABH.  All players and staff must hold a valid USABH membership for each calendar year (January-December).  Coaches and referees have a background check.

We are always looking for more referees and coaches (head and assistant) for all age groups.  We are a volunteer group, as we are a non-profit league.
