SUMMER HOCKEY '26: COMPLETE SEASON DETAILS

SUMMER WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

Ohhh yeah… this one hits different.

Pulling up to a 7 PM game with the sun still out, shorts on, and slides strapped to your wheels. Walking into the dressing room with the boys (or girls) retelling epic stories from the weekend. That drive you bombed 3 hundo (with a friendly roll), the dock up north, patio drinks during happy hour, outdoor concerts...it all happens in summer..and it all gets retold, in detail, in the locker room. 

With all the fellas back home from school, and more leagues in more cities than any hockey league in the history of the world (seriously, try to ask Chat), this is your excuse to reunite the dream team and bring back the chemistry you had back in your hay day. 

Simply put - there is no better way to enjoy the summer than in the room and on the ice with your team.

Text the group chat, this summer, we're running it back for the 2026 season in ways we've never done before. New cities, new leagues, the absolute best f*ckin' tarps that should be in the Hall of Fame. Whether you're pulling up to a brand new barn or running it back at your home rink, we've got the season and the reason to be bring the gang together this summer.

WHAT'S NEW

LUG isn't static. We add new features and elements to the season experience every single year. Last year? You wanted longer game times, you got it. This year, we're introducing a series of new features to take the LUG Experience to another level.

NEW TARPS

  • 40+ brand new, never before seen styles to get your team on the ice in a kit with aura. These jerseys are straight heat, taking inspo from all 4 major sports, pop culture, and anything else we thought would look dope on a jersey. 
  • 10+ new WOMEN'S styles. For the first time ever, we've designed brand new women's jerseys including PWHL-inspired styles with new sizes built specifically for women. Jerseys that actually fit and styles that go hard. Stop swimming ladies...
  • Tighter socks. We've tapered socks to bring back a more classic feel.
  • Make sure you are locked in early, so you can get first dibs on our new set of sweaters.

LUG SHOWCASE WEEKS

  • New for this season, we're introducing Showcase Weeks. This is when regular season standings and playoff lives are on the line. Just like when you were playing in a tournament as a kid and the games could go back to back, in LUG Showcase Weeks teams can expect a faster paced season, with more games taking place in a shorter period of time. Think semi finals taking place Sunday and Finals running it back the very next night. 
  • There is no better time to be at the rink then when you're on a winning streak and you've got mom in the crowd...

LOCATIONS

We're launching LUG Summer Hockey in a MASSIVE amount of new cities with more nights to play, more division's to lock in, and locations than ever before. With over 70+ locations, LUG Summer Hockey is the defacto way to play puck in North America and the largest league of it's kind.
