Hockey?

[Davetronz]

So who out there plays hockey or has played hockey?

I have played for 12 years and coached PeeWee level for one year.
I am now retired to the beer leagues after my accident a couple years ago.
Career highlights, playing as "Team Alberta" in Vancouver after winning the provincial and city championship here in Calgary in Bantam A in 1999

Reason I ask is that if there is enough interest we may be able to rent some ice somewhere one night and play some hockey, or just join up for some outdoor!

i love hockey!

i just play roller hockey though

We (and a number of friends) rent ice in the NW once a week to play for fun, but the price of the ice has increased this year and it costs too much to play. If you can find a place with cheap ice on Friday nights we will go for sure. There are about 15 of us ranging from no experience to AA.

i play hockey, but i suck! there is always mckenzie lake, if i can get a few friends together for the winter, we could possibly play hockey there for free (the lake fees rape you hardcore ) but i will look into it and see what i can come up with....

[Ben]

I'm game! (pun intended)

I'm a goalie. Been playing off an on in that position for 9 years now. I play for a university intramural ice hockey team and for 2 floor hockey teams. It sucks though cause they just moved floor hockey to the other side of the city here because of the stupid new gym floor! FUCK YOU U OF L!!!!!!!

Anyway, whenever I'm headed to Calgary I can bring my gear out and play goal with you guys! But only if there's a for sure meet where a few ppl show up.

my brother and his friends play there all the time.
they said the ice is smooth and well-maintained.

I played hockey through tyke up to two years ago age of 19 now.... When I went to hit a guy real low and broke my collar bone hitting the guy, he was coming down with his elbow and it hit and just snapped.....

At first I didn't realize it, I just skated off went damn that kinda hurt.. Goto take a drink from a water bottle, and I couldnt' lift it with my left arm... Im like wtf, try again.... Can't lift my arm at all..... I go into the dressing room real quick (weird bench dressing rooms come right out onto teams benches) Take a look at myself in the bathroom, and I got this huge buldge on my collar bone, I go dad take a look at this what do you think (He was co-coaching at the time) I think its broken...

Does it hurt?

Not really.....

Well it looks broken... better goto hospital.

Who did you play for?

Ouch! I've never broken anything from hockey. Didn't wear a lexan neck guard until last year, that was dumb as I could have easily got my collarbone broken or my throat chrushed.

For a pretty funny story of what happened to me in hockey last week, read this: http://www.rangerpowersports.com/for...threadid=58980

I played with Bow Valley in division 1 pretty much my whole time playing, I never tried out for anything serious has the dedication for the Buffs or Royals was always too high for my liking.

I never had a hockey injury per say, but realized I had a back problem whilst playing hockey.

[integ]

I'm in , you can get ice at southland on sundaynights after 11pm for $70 an hour. Or even early morning for the same price. It's good ice.

I am always up there come winter

[RCBVtec]

I played for about 12-13 years or so... I was playing minor bantam for the buffs, but for major and midget played community for mid-sun (realized that I wasn't going to go anywhere so didn't want it to be my life) I would be in if the ice wasn't way the hell up North; somewhere more central would be better.
