We moved from Mil-Sher to the Pepsi Center so now we have room for more players. Basically we have about 16 guys, 12 of which are regulars who show up and play rec roller hockey. 3 on 3 was the usual with 1 sub per team and 2 goalies. Experience is not necessary, but you must have your own equipment. Helmet is a must… you might be able to borrow a stick, but you will be responsible for it, I recommend gloves and shin pads. All that stuff can be had for under 100 bux new, and probably 50 used.
Now that we are going to the Pepsi Center, we will have room for 5 on 5 and probably 3 subs per team.
There is a wide variety of experience on the rink at all times. I have only been playing since November. 4 of the other guys have been playing for years. Our “good” goalie has about 4-5 years in net, and the other goalie we have has been in net for about 6 months but is coming along very nicely. We choose random teams, and usually trade if need be. This is no contact… and by no contact i mean no checking. Light contact is aceptable, because it is not completely avoidable, but just friendly rubs. We don’t really play by rules yet due to the lack of experience and no refs… but we try to stay onsides and stuff like that. We don’t have age limits… I think I’m the youngest on the rink most of the time @ 21,another kid who plays is like 17 and some of the guys are late 30s, maybe early 40s, but that doesn’t mean bring your 12 yr old brother so he can learn to skate on our time. Also we are not necessarily co-ed due to the risk involved (some of us are 6ft + and 200lbs+) but we have played with girls in the past and they did fine. I just hate playing with girls, but the more the merrier.
Addicted2Boost and Yelocity and ?GSX? will be able to vouch for the fun we have. Its a good clean group. We sub when we are tired, or when you feel like the sub has been sitting for a while… we don’t necessarily do line changes, but we may end up doing that if enough people show, not sure how well that works in a rec league.
SilverGTP will have more information if you need it. I think playing will be like 10 bux a week or something really cheap. The price of entry is directly related to the attendance that night. We have automated attendance tracking online. Lets you know if any plans change, and sends out e-mails for confirmations. We also have jerseys we bought a couple weeks ago, we may have extras if you want to look like your on a team, but otherwise color choice is BLACK or WHITE. Pick one, not a mix of the 2.
Gimme a call if you need to. 9011081:)
MODS - I put this here for the traffic, and it really isn’t a meet, just gauging intrest. Do as you see fit.
Hopefully that changes, but we can kick some people home.
