Thirteen teams from Tekapo, Alexandra, Dunedin and Queenstown took part in the last tournament of the Southern Ice Hockey League series.
The teams were divided into A and B grades.
The Gore Grizzlies B team was coached by Kurt Moyle and managed by his wife Amy and the A team was coached by Paul Claridge and managed by Cara Henderson.
Each team fields three players and a goalkeeper on the ice at a time but every minute a buzzer sounds and the players but not the goalkeeper are replaced with a new set.
The games are eight minutes long and are played on a third of the ice rink.
Mr Moyle said the format of the game was good because it gave the players more time on the ice.
"More hockey in a shorter amount of time for more teams."
Mrs Moyle said the club did not have enough players in the under-15 and under-18 grades but had plenty in the under-12s.
"It’s really growing."
