Rusty Blades Hockey is many things...a hockey community...a "travel" team....Adult Skills and Drills....and the Beginner League....but mostly a group of people with a common passion.

We go to tournaments and friendship games as a lower level (D level) team, mainly within our surrounding states (east Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, and Alabama.

We also host teams from those areas either for friendship games or our historic Rusty Cup tournament. 

Our women's team is the Rusty Babes, and they also travel to and host women's games.  Sometimes they have to borrow players or combine with other teams to do so, but that makes it even more fun!!

The Rusty Blades have a loaner equipment program!  Players have donated equipment, youth and adult sizes.  It is free to use during games or practices--we just ask that you put it back away afterwards.  Equipment available for use includes helmets, shoulder pads, elbow pads, pants (aka breezers), shin guards, gloves, skates and sticks. Please note that equipment is available on a first come, first served basis. Because equipment is voluntarily donated, there may be limited availability, particularly of uncommon sizes.  We will do our best to accomodate you.

After you decide you like playing hockey (and we hope you will!), you should work on getting your own equipment.  This will eliminate the possiblity that you might not be able to find fitting equipment on a particular day.  The first two pieces of equipment should be a helmet and skates, as they are the most important to fit well and be of good quality.
