Mens league and beer league are the same to me.
We have beer in the parking lot before and after.
In my age group and area of town, all the house leaguers seem to have stopped playing, and all the people who played higher level still love to play often.
I think it's harder to find a 25 year old friend to come play hockey who isn't good at hockey.
All the ones who aren't good at hockey have excuses " I got rid of my equipment when I moved" , "I can't find my helmet it's been years" , " my skates don't fit" etc. Then all the more serious players always have their gear in their car and are ready to go at a moment's notice.
That will change. House/rec/beer league I was in, was mostly mid 30s to 50s. Once you get older and you want to do something once a week to have fun and get some exercise, the thought of playing hockey comes roaring back. And yes, it was a lot of bad (like me!) players, newbies to the sport, and folks who were out of shape.
