i just played ice hockey!

i know this isn't about fishing, but i am so excited i just have to tell my friends. i have not played since college[17 years] but i just joined a league. i dumped 3 people to the ice, got 2 penalties and had a generally great time. too bad we lost 4 to 1.

Sounds like fun!

Chris....you big bully!  

Way to go Chris sounds like you had a blast.  I thought you said it was a no checking league? I bet the Stripers are happy  to hear that you are relieving some of your aggression elsewhere.

I'd pay money to watch Chris "run over" any guy that gets in his way  

What position do you play?

it is a non-checking league but it was rough, there were 3 fights! i play defense, a lot of skating backwards and passing the puck up to the forwards, a little rough stuff in defense of my net.

too bad we lost 4 to 1.

My motto has always been, if you can't beat em......BEAT EM!

Sounds like alot of fun.

Way to go, Chris
I play defense on my roller hockey team.........we lost last night too.....

Pat, Bigfoot and cpyak should organize an "NCKA" hockey team  

hmmmmmmmmm..........
The boats will be awkward on ice
"Hooking" would have a whole new (and painful) meaning
And tandems would not be allowed
But, sand dabs instead of pucks could be interesting...

I play down here in SD, never played growing up.  My company sponsored a team, and now I am addicted! (not as much as fishing!)
Great sport, definite workout.  I am glad the NHL is back!! Congrats on getting back on the ice!   Chris

back in my "yute"....I used to rollerblade a lot....I tried playing street hockey and I was good....problem was: I could not skate backwards...needless to say, I never got phone calls from the fellas when they were short of a player  

Thank God I had a dozen more other sports to fall back on  

IMO: I'd rather watch hockey than football(sorry Jason).......but both can't compare to women's pro beach volleyball  

Chris that is great!  Tell the truth, the real reason you joined the league was just another excuse to drink beer.  J/K. Maybe we will come watch you play sometime.
Jason

well sort of, the more exercise i get, the more beer i can drink.

If you like ice hockey, you should give underwater hockey a try.  I know they play at San Jose State and we play in Sebastopol 2X a week.  Rockfish fishing season will close pretty soon but the diving should be open all year.
