The Lake City Gentlemen's Hockey League is a very competitive hockey league with many skilled players on their respective teams. The League however will not tolerate such action. Players who play in this League should not have to worry about things such as being  jumped from behind, sucker punched, or attacked with a stick when they come to play hockey. The bottom line is we all have lives outside of hockey; jobs, family, school and cannot afford being away from these. Come play hockey, play hard and have fun with the game as it should be.
