What Is DEKHOCKEY?

This sport that I’ve fallen in love with over the past 19 years has a few names with small differences. Dek, Ball, Floor, Street.  At its heart they’re all the same.  It’s hockey played with sneakers on either a gym floor, a plastic tile surface or blacktop.

This site is dedicated to the education of DEKHOCKEY.  What is it, how did it start, who plays it?  We have short videos from people all over the country that run tournaments, leagues and organizations explaining the sport and its history. We have links to sites that share the love of this sport and photos from across the world.

Its rules are generally the same as ice hockey with icing, off-sides, penalties, some sort of boards and equipment. The one thing that binds these different versions of the same sport together is the little orange ball invented by Ray LeClerc, founder of Mylec and the sense of community all the leagues bring to its members.
