Schools will usually have an athletics website that will have info about intramurals. You need to be pretty pro to be on a varsity team though.

Yeah, the varsity teams that play in the CIS (don't ask me what it stands for) are pretty good: they've got ex-OHL/WHL/QMJHL, ex-Junior A/B/C/D, ex-Tier 1/2 players, and some ex-pro players (UHL, IHL, ECHL, AHL, one NHL guy that I know of...)

At UW there's intramurals, and there's a beginner (really bad), intermediate (not bad), advanced (pretty good) and sometimes all-star (quite good) divisions. They're actually somewhat competitive. For a non-athletic school I'm quite surprised. I'd imagine the schools you listed would have bigger/more competitive intramurals.

CIS = Canadian Interuniversity Sport

I kind of question the ex-pro players playing on a CIS team, unless they only played for one year or something. There's a lot of rules about being able to play professional sports and then going to play CIS.
