Recommended Equipment to Begin Playing PowerHockey:
Goals
The standard size of hockey goals sold at most stores
is 6 ft. (183 cm) wide x 4ft. (121 cm) high x 2 feet (60 cm) deep.
PowerHockey league and tournament rules, however, use an
official goal size of 6 ft. (183 cm) wide x 3 ft. (91 cm) high
x 2 feet (60 cm) deep. The height of the goal was changed because
most players can't raise the ball. In an attempt to decrease the
advantage for those few players who could lift the ball we lowered
the goal to 3 ft.
The best option to find goals this size is to order
them from Edge Sports. They will custom make their "Pro"
series goals to official PowerHockey specifications. Tell them

To achieve official PowerHockey specifications on
a standard store purchased goal is to either cut the necessary
tubing off or use a net to close off the top foot of the 4 ft.
goal.
Some leagues may also decide to find someone to
build a 6 ft. x 3 ft. goal with PVC tubing which can be found
at a local hardware store. This is usually an inexpensive solution
but requires someone with the necessary skills and tools to take
the time to build it. Goal netting can be purchased at any sporting
goods store or online, simply buy the netting for a 6 ft. x 4
ft. goal. Note: Many times the self made goals are not very durable
and may only last a year or two depending on use and storage etc.
It all depends on the builder and material used.
