Sponsored just meant our teams were sponsored by various corporations. They covered our tourney dues, and paid for some of our gear. It was a nice setup TBTH. All we had to do was wear their names on our jerseys somewhere, basically.
Sounds like you did better than a local dek league, so that's cool to hear. Have you ever played outdoors?
Even in my competitive days, my greatest joy was being alone on some outdoor rink with just the sound of my blades cutting the ice. There was always something magical about that for me, hence my desire to play at the PHC.
Never on an outdoor rink, but pond hockey, absolutely. I built a 4x6 net when I was a senior in high school, and it stayed on a local pond all winter. We were there nearly every day after school, and on weekends. But never played on a true outdoor rink...
Thanks for explaining the "sponsored" thing -- that sounds like it would have been a really, really cool setup, lots of fun, and sounds pretty "high level" to me...
