Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
Never played organized, but a lot of pickup with everyone in numerous neighborhoods. There were three outdoor rinks not far from our house.
I was a goalie a lot, because i wasn't afraid of the puck. I would also be on defense quite a bit because I could skate backwards.

Double post:
The only thing I do that is related to hockey is goal judge every once and a while. I really ticked off the Elk River 14-15 girls team a year or two ago.
It was in, you silly broads.

A bunch of floor hockey, but I'm just learning to skate now.

Which might explain why you are always leaning left!
I've been playing for 50 years, and now play at least once a week with the "Wheezers and Geezers" here in SC.
I wore Cooperalls and a Northland "Stan Mikita" helmet back in the 80s.
I've been trying to learn crossovers for 40 years.
No jokes.

Yes. Very poorly but I did get to wear a Pro-Tec & Cooperalls in HS. You know you're jealous.

Never played organized, but play pond hockey here and there...
I did try and get into refereeing when I moved back to Chicago a few weeks go, but missed out on the USA Hockey seminars in the area.... Maybe next year I'll play and ref...

Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
edit: did not see that you moved away from VA. I recently moved here and can't really find any close hockey. Might have to suck it up and drive to roanoke to do stick and puck once a week. Unfortunately, once a week is barely maintenance let alone actually improving.
Here is a list of some folks from the UNH squad who played back in the day. Don't ask why I am posting this, mostly because I am bored and have no plans on Friday night
( hate moving to new places where I don't know anyone). One poster, Gozen, used to play steet hockey with us. He was friends with dave ( bigbadcow). He played juniors so it was unfair when he would dangle through three overweight frat boys. The only active poster who used to be on my team was unhrouge. I think we are going to reunite our line at the posters game in Detroit this April.
Long live Les Nordiques part DUEX!!!

Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
I played consistently from 3 until I started undergrad (Michigan cut IM hockey the year I started college), did drop-in a few times junior year (second time I did drop-in after not playing for two years involved Ian Cole, Eric Ehn, Teddy Ruth, and a few people from the US-under 18 team...not the best thing for one's confidence), and found a men's league team senior year. Now I'm in grad school in Minneapolis, and hopefully I can find somewhere to play drop-in/pond hockey (IM teams filled up before I got around to registering).

Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
Yeah, really couldn't tell you anything, I never got around to trying to play at all when I was home so I couldn't really say what's in the area.

I'll challenge anyone in broomball!
Hockey...havent played since I was 6. I played with 9 and 10 yearolds and held my own speed wise. Never got to play a game. Got really sick the night before the first game and was hospitalized for 10 days with Juvenille Rheumatoid arthritis.
Never touched the ice again until last year when I tried to learn how to skate again. Did decently but fell my fair share as well. I've been doing a lot more roller blading instead.
Parents never let me play or get into hockey again after i missed that first season. Pretty disappointing now that I look back on it because I feel like I could have been decent given how much I watched the game and obssessed over it when I was young. Not guaranteeing any D-I scholarships but with how much I liked it I have a feeling I would have worked at it enough to make myself a semi decent player for my age. But ya never know...All i can now is wonder.

Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
Played from 5 years of age through sophmore year, only house leagues though. Have thoughts about pulling the gear out every once in a while, but haven't had a chance to since I started school in NYC. I just referee during the winters now and picked up broomball a few years ago, luckilly there is a league in NYC to continue playing at too.

Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
Played the game since I was 5 years old...never really stopped. Attempted to walk on to UND in 2002...practice squad for a few weeks, then told not good enough. Played intramurals at UND and still play drop in every now and then at DU.
I will not be playing in the posters game this year; I'm saving up my talent for 2011 in Minny.

Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
I play, started seriously late in high school. I started playing goalie about four years ago, which I do mostly exclusively now. I also have my Level 3 Coaching Certification.

Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
I have coached and would prefer the full contact puck in the store version for some parents.

Re: Who here actually plays hockey?
I played High School hockey growing up in New England. RW and Center. Back then the school couldn't afford practice ice except once per week, so we practiced on a local pond.
After not making the Tech team as a walk-on I played intramural for 4 years and our team was pretty good. As I remember there were over 100 IM teams.
Once I started working for a living I played less and less. Especially because I lived in the south. Would like to start back up at some point, but can't really afford dental work.
