i play every position. i used to be a goalie too, which i loved. now i like center the best, but also like defense, and wing is fine too.
i tried to play goalie, the gear was jsut not me! lol, kept falling. I like defense too, i love getting in the mix
i tried it once also and the same thing happened. the equipment was like dripping off me. and it was scary gross inside my brothers goalie helmet. they did tell me i was the best smelling goalie th...
Yeah well by the time we are done playing I usually barely have enough energy to get my equipment off let alone clean all of it. Half the time I leave my stuff in my car because I'm just to tired ...
wow so its not set times, like 8:00 game against blah blah blah? wow...
Yeah that's the way we work it none of us would have time to play in a league it's hard enough getting pickup games together as it is.
yeah it's more convenient to play at our own time schedule. then also we can play as long as we want, just switch up teams now and then. though we play serious, it's just for fun so it's not one set team against another set team.
Also that way you get to play with different people. It's fun when me and Bill are on the same team our chemistry on the ice is usually pretty good. It sure was yesterday.
true. although some people work better together than others. i hate when we've got a solid team that flows so well and then we have to switch
Though it does work both ways. Sometimes it's good sometimes it's not. What's funny is when we have teams that we think are going to be totally kill but then they are very evenly matched.
you have to be in leagues to play for ice there's pick up games on friday evenings, other than that you're outta luck, unlessw you play roller on the outdoor rinks.
I've been fortunate though cause the guys at mission skate on wed & friday mornings, so we either get the ice rink or the roller rink @ the gretzsky center
We actually do play at the outdoor rinks there are about 6 around here to play at.
and weather is no deterent to the insane...
Not insane just mentally deranged. There's a big difference there.:-P
we don't have many outdoor rinks that are "free" per se.
I lvoe playing in the early mornings when it's cool and you're SO hot you change and you feel the coolness...
One of the main reasons we play at outdoor rinks is because there are so many and it's free to play there. The one thing that stinks is that in the summer when it's really hot it's hard to play and if you do you die.
Nah, it can be really good!
It's got it's upsides and down sides. Though mostly downs. If it's like over 100 it's impossible to play the goalies get overheated and dehydrated in 2 minutes so when it's that hot we can't play.
10 years ago when I was playing regularly we always played ice hockey at midnight on Fridays. I still know a few who play in a league, but I don't have the time or the skill for that anymore. I don't even have my equipment anymore.
Those were pick up teams but there was always enough to play. On the rare occasion we'd even have 4 goalies show up.
