Our research has shown that the exercise value is superior in the OBBHA using our unique rules (ball always live, no face-offs and no penalties implementing the yellow/red card soccer style system).

A standard ball hockey game taking place in a one hour period with warm-up, face-offs and penalties resulted in 27 minutes on average of physical exercise. Divide that by how may lines a team has (2 or sometimes 3)….and it is 9 or 13.5 minutes of exercise per player per hour.

The OBBHA numbers offer a full hour of exercise divided by 2 (as most teams have decided to go with 8 players plus a goalie) for 30 minutes of running per player in the hour. The goalies face many more shots than any other league as well for the game is non-stop!l….and this is the main reason we have two breaks of 1 or 2 minutes after every 18 minutes of play. The OBBHA guarantees you will be tired, get in shape and get more exercise per game than any other current format utilized in any other ball hockey league!
