The Sport
What Is Ball Hockey?
Ball hockey (also called dek, floor, or street hockey) is hockey you play on foot. Same intensity. Same teamwork. No skates required.
Players run instead of skate and use a ball instead of a puck. That makes the sport more accessible and far more affordable than ice hockey, while keeping the nonstop action and competitiveness that make hockey great.
Ball hockey has its own pace, rules, and culture, and it's growing fast across the country. In Indiana, IBHA is at the center of that growth.
Leagues
Two Rinks. Two Experiences.
Full-size 5-on-5 at Ellenberger Park or lightning-fast 3-on-3 on Indy's rooftop rink. Compare formats, then join when you're ready.
Why Ball Hockey
All the Hockey. None of the Barriers.
Accessible, affordable, and fiercely competitive: ball hockey is how more Hoosiers get on the rink.
No Skates Required
Players run on foot. If you can move, you can play: no skating lessons or ice time needed.
More Affordable
Skip the expensive gear and rink fees. Ball hockey keeps hockey accessible without sacrificing intensity.
Fast & Competitive
Same nonstop action, physical play, and team strategy as ice hockey, at a pace all its own.
All Skill Levels
From first-timers to seasoned competitors, IBHA leagues welcome everyone who loves the game.
Community
Built in Indianapolis. Growing Across Indiana.
From a rooftop dream in 2011 to Ellenberger's upgraded rink and beyond, IBHA carries decades of Indy hockey history forward.
What started as a Pittsburgh transplant's vision for rooftop dek hockey has evolved into a statewide association with two active leagues, a passionate player base, and ambitions for a permanent year-round home.
