Do you realize how old the posts your replying to are?
Holy Moly! I wandered into here thinking its an active thread
They are recent. They were merged from another thread today, lol.
Hey guys, I'm looking for rinks near where I go to school in Ewing, anybody know of any indoor or outdoor rinks nearby?
Division 2 is pretty legit
http://www.arenamaps.com/search.php?position=0&state=NY&arena_name=&city=New+York&sort_field2=arena_name&sort_field=city_sorterI'm about to move to NYC (Upper East Side, to be specific) and am having trouble finding decent info on rink locations and times for drop-in/pickup.
I'm most interested in places that offer morning (pre-work; like 6 a.m.) drop-in times, if there are any. But any info anyone has on decent (not super-crowded, not super-expensive) pickup hockey in the greater NYC region would be great.
One last thing: I'm about to be (gulp) car-less, for the first time in my adult life. How do you other NYC hockey enthusiasts manage? Public transit (with all our gear??)? Zipcar?
Thanks!
P.S. If any of you run or are invited to "organized drop-in" sessions, I swear I'm a good player. I mean, not amazing, but I always snagged invites to such sessions in the D.C. area. I pass a lot/am unselfish. I'm not a guy you'll regret inviting ...

BUMP!!!!
Just bought myself a pair of last years Graf Ultra G7's.... $250 on Hockey Monkey.\
My old 652's front plastic toe part started to come off the sole, so I think it was time to get another pair.... 10 years aint bad out of them tho.
Very nice! 10 years is solid for a pair of skates. The new ones will serve you well.
I've had a tendency towards the Bauer Vapor line recently. They're nicely suited for working on backwards/reversal skating and the stride feels good. Loyalty to Graf is definitely something I've seen a lot of, they seem to establish a comfort zone that you never want to leave.
