Looking to play some hockey...

[Boosted131]

After not playing for the first year of my life I'm wanting to either drop in at some decent shinny games or join a team. Anyone know of something decent? I'm 22

[My_name_is_Rob]

sent ya a PM. :thumbsup:

[Boosted131]

Are you going tonight rob?

[My_name_is_Rob]

Ya that's the plan so far. :thumbsup:

[ae92gts]

I am also interested in playing some shinny hockey. Is there an official shinny hockey thread? I did a quick search and no dice.

I am defiantly rusty, haven’t been on skates much for the past few years (maybe 3 shinny games last season and a couple the season before)

[95EG6P]

if you can make it to trico at lunch times they have one for shinny the player are usually pretty good but i have seen a couple of newbies on the ice and they seem to enjoy it too

[ae92gts]

Lunch is pretty much out of the question for me. Pretty much anytime after 6pm on weekdays and anytime weekends.

And if it matters, i am 25 and played from atom all the way to junior and i have full equipment.

[Boosted131]

Come to the open shinny tonight 815 at stew hendry.

[Boosted131]

Rob how early do we have to show up?

[TYMSMNY]

how busy are those open public shinny games??

[Boosted131]

Looked like about 20-22 players today. Was pretty fun.

Rob which player were you? I had the red jersey with the sharks socks

[My_name_is_Rob]

Ya there was quite the turn out tonight. Was definatly fun. I was the grey jersey with the white helmet. You know, the one who kept falling all over the ice... haha

damn didnt see this post yesterday, i would have been in for sure.

we need an offical shinny hockey thread to post times and places. Maybe this one? :dunno:

[bigbadboss101]

How much is open shinny? Usually 10 aside? No goons?

[Canucks3322]

I interested in playing some shinnies, played in some drop in ones in the Summer they were full of junior players looking to keep in shape...not fun for a beginner like myself, are the shinnies during the winter more normal folks?

Best to try to just find a shinny specifically for beginners.

[bigbadboss101]

I know a group that plays every Saturday late at Crowfoot. 11:30 for an hour. If u r interested I can pass on info. Sat not best for me so I don't really go.

[JoniBoy]

If anyone is interested, my company has a timeslot at 5:15pm on Saturday evenings at an inner city rink just north of downtown. We used to play after work on Mondays but we got bumped to Saturday now and as a result a lot of the older guys stopped playing. Definitely could use some more bodies out there!

Fairly wide range of skill levels and easy going group.

If anyone is interested, sent me a PM for more info. Drop-in fees are $15/game, but if you sign up for the rest of the year I can give a discount.

Also should mention, most of the time we have two goalies, but they’re all on a “week to week basis” so if any goalies out there are interested in playing, either week to week or on a more permanent basis, let me know and we can work something out. Skill level doesn’t matter, anything is better than a shooter tutor! Goalies play free of course.

Rob we're you at the last one? I had the full sharks uniform but not sure who you are

Maximum 26 players including two goalies (first two goalies free of charge).

[Boosted131]

Which one were you? Still don't know who rob is either... I was the one who forgot their helmet and wore a motocross helmet instead haha

[My_name_is_Rob]

Haha... how in the world did you manage?!? Wasn't that thing super heavy? And I was on your team tonight. I just don't do anything quite as memorable so I blend in. :poosie:

[bigbadboss101]

[JoniBoy]

Still looking for a few more players for tomorrow if anyone is interested!

[bigbadboss101]

Have an event to go to tomorrow. Next week perhaps JoniBoy. You guys are higher level than I am used to but it's good to skate against better players.

What are all the details for that? curous on skill and everything. My tuesday night grad course is done dec 11th and I'd love to slot something in on tuesdays

[Boosted131]

It's any skill level. Lots of people seemed like they played community at some point. Others can hardly skate (not many)

No worries, you're still welcome to come out when you can! Playing at a higher level than you're use to definitely gets your skills up quick :thumbsup:

[Nickerjones]

Im back in town for the holidays and looking for a place or two to play. Anyone got room for me?

Im still fairly new to hockey.. been skating less than 2 years. Although I have been off the ice since June because of back surgery and then for months at a time before then for the back. I just want to get back on the ice and skate around , nothing to serious..

[nonofyobiz]

I used to play at Trico and Southland, but I heard that its a bit of a crapshoot on the players that come out...

but I did hear about the guy with a dirtbike helmet lol

[Street_Soldier]

I've always wanted to go but been too busy. How is it?

[My_name_is_Rob]

I'll hopefully be there again
