Update from DMYHA (and a reminder that we fall under their organization):

With all the excitement and chatter around the upcoming season, our phones and inboxes have been getting flooded with questions about several items. Most of these we address individually but one question that keeps coming up is regarding what ice time will look like with the recent announcement from the Des Moines Buccaneers (USHL) and their move to the RecPlex for the upcoming season. First and foremost, the impact to DMYHA programming at the RecPlex is very minimal as the Bucs will practice during the daytime hours and play games on late Friday & Saturday nights. As for Bucs Arena, we have assured by the Bucs that they are working diligently to provide DMYHA ice just as they have in previous years. Currently, a portable ice making system is expected to arrive in the coming weeks and, barring any unforeseen circumstances that may arise, they should be ready to go mid-October – just as originally planned. Granted, unexpected things can always come up, but we are hopeful and trust that the plan they have put into place will support our needs this season. Rest assured, we are always in constant conversation with all our rink partners to make sure we are exhausting every avenue possible to get your skater(s) on the ice and will continue to do so.

We’ve been in touch with DMYHA and arena staff - as of right now, expectation is that ice will be in at Buc’s Arena in October.
CIDL season should be on track - we’ll continue to collaborate with our partners and update as needed - but CIDL Sunday rec-league hockey should still happen this season!

We’ve heard about the Buccaneers season, and it sounds like they will play at RecPlex this year.

As a reminder, we are affiliated with DMYHA and as of right now, we expect to play at Buccaneers Arena.

If that changes, we will update accordingly.

Congratulations to the Bat Hogs, D1 Champions!

Congratulations to the Rented Mules on their D2 Championship! Congrats also to Rich Pentico on his shutout in the game!

Congratulations to our D3 Champions, the Reapers!

The CIDL trophies will be in the house at Buccaneer Arena tomorrow! Who's going to hoist the trophy in each Division after their Championship game? Good luck to all teams playing in tomorrow's games!

Who's ready for Championship Weekend‽ The Bat Hogs came back after being nearly knocked out, the Rented Mules and the Wild Goose displayed the #1 and #2 teams in D2, and in D3, we have the top ranked Ice Warriors taking on the #4 Reapers! Fantastic work to all the teams that have made it into the championship games! Next Sunday's schedule has been posted on the website and is also below.

Well, that was quite the weekend of hockey, with at least a couple upsets occurring. Congrats to the No Regretskyz, Wild Goose, and Ice Warriors for securing your spots in the championship games! Next Sunday's schedule has been posted on the website and is also below.

Good evening CIDL! Congrats to all our winning teams from the first week of our tournament! And for those that weren't as successful, there's still a chance to get back in next week! Next Sunday's schedule has been posted on the website and is also below.

Good evening CIDL, it's tournament time! Thank you to all our off- and on-ice officials, players, coaches, Bucs staff, tolerant spouses, and everyone else that has helped make this season a success! Below you will find the schedule for our first week of the tournament, leading to our eventual championship games on May 5th. For Divisions where standings were close (I'm looking at you, D3), we follow SportsEngine's "NHL Classic" rules: "Teams receive 2 points for a win and 1 for a tie. Teams are ordered by points, then wins, then losses (ascending), then by games played (ascending), and then goal differential." Thanks again everyone, and have fun in the tournament!

Hey there CIDL!
Below you'll find the schedule for the 4 tournament weekends - 3 weeks of playoffs and then Championship Weekend! We are taking Easter Sunday off, and have one regular season set of games on 4/7, and then it's time for the tournament!

Good evening CIDL!
We've had to make a couple schedule changes that we want to call out real quick:
1) On St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, we were hoping to start games later in the day. This isn't going to be possible and our games will be starting in the 9:30 AM time slot like normal. The website has been updated with these changes - please check it for your updated game times.
2) We had several people mention to us that on April 7th, the final day for regular games, we weren't going to end the regular season with a balanced schedule of teams playing each other. We have adjusted both D1 and D2 games to correct this. Please check the updated website for your game times.
3) We have the playoff schedule put together, and we'll get placeholder games posted on the website shortly.
Thank you, and good luck as we head towards the playoffs!

Hey there CIDL!

It's that time of the year that we start looking for people that would be interested in helping lead getting our next season off and running this summer.

Items that we're looking for people to help with include: communications (social media and MailChimp), SportsEngine (season setup, scheduling), budgeting, registration, evaluations (scheduling and organizing), maintaining relationships with our business partners, and more.

If you are interested, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Thanks, and have an awesome hockey-filled weekend!

Who doesn't have a bit of extra gear laying around home collecting dust? This Sunday and next Sunday we're opening up the lounge for an equipment swap! We'll provide the stickers to write your name and a price on, and you just have to bring your spare gear. All transactions are between the buyer and the seller, we're just providing the stickers and space. So, clear out those closets, soak it in disinfectant, and bring your extra gear on Sunday. All items must be removed by either the seller or buyer at the end of the last session or we'll have to get rid of it.

Here's your combine schedule!

All goalies should bring a spare light and dark jersey with a number on them. All goalies are welcome to come on the ice at 1:15 PM each day (regardless of day assignment) for evaluation by the captains.
