THE STORY BEHIND THE ICE
Bring a Stress-Free Hockey Environment to as Many People as Possible
Clarke/Gray Hockey was founded in 2015 by Glen Clarke and Anthony Gray with one mission: to help people enjoy the game of hockey the way they do. Passion, camaraderie, and zero stress.
What started as a small group of friends looking for quality ice time in Halifax has grown into a full hockey community with multiple programs, annual tournaments, and hundreds of players from across Nova Scotia.
Our core philosophy is simple: time with the puck on your stick. Every program we run is designed to maximize ice time, build skills, and keep the game fun.
Our Core Values
Fun First
Every decision we make starts with one question: "Is this fun?" Hockey is a game. We never lose sight of that.
Respect & Safety
Respect for every player, regardless of skill level, age, or background. Safe, inclusive hockey is non-negotiable.
Skill Development
Maximum puck time, quality drills, and real game experience. We believe every player can improve while having a blast.
A Decade of Great Hockey
Father/Son Hockey
The first hockey organized by Anthony and Glen was to get their son's friends together and a few dads every spring and summer to play pickup hockey for fun. This small group of friends who share a love for the game still play together today.
Adult Beginner Practices
Anthony and Glen started coed adult beginner practices to help introduce the game to adults who have always wanted to play.
Adult Beginner Games
Following the success of the adult practices, Anthony and Glen started a coed adult hockey games group focused on being a place for beginners.
Expanded Adult Beginner Games to 4 Teams
