The Manatee Ball Hockey League is a recreational youth ball hockey league in Lakewood Ranch, FL affiliated with USA Ball Hockey and the Lightning Made Hockey program. Our athletes play once a week on Saturday mornings at Lakewood Ranch Park at the new Lightning Made rink built behind the High School football stadium. The format for all athletes is a short practice followed by a game in an hour long session.
Our mission is to grow the sport and give all players an opportunity to learn and play the game of hockey. Ball Hockey is played with offsides and icing so we will give our athletes an opportunity to understand the fundamentals of the sport. Our goal is to foster an environment that promotes community, teamwork and sportsmanship.
