OT: Road Hockey Rumble AKA 'The dry land thread'

[Superpest]

I'm absolutely down.

I have no blades though, but I prefer playing without them, anyways.

Not bad keep it coming...I also wouldn't mind more suggestions on location.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Also any goalies out there?

 

[Patchey*]

Why hasn't Shorts said he's coming yet? I want to light him up

 

[Superpest]

A couple weekends ago I played in a lacrosse box on Nelson just passed Marine. Very nice cement perfect for roller blades. Only down side was the lacrosse goals are permanent, but we can put a net in front of them.

I'm new to the area and that is all I got.

 

[Superpest]

Are there arenas of sorts that you can rent out where we could all pitch in a little and rent a few hours?

 

[y2kcanucks]

I can play goalie but I don't have any pads. I'd invest in a mask if someone has spare goalie gear.

 

[Patchey*]

I've got full goalie gear, but no mask or goalie stick.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Well I've got one good (relative term) set of everything and another one that is much crappier - literally held together with duct tape.

 

[EpochLink]

I'm down for some ball hockey, just name the place and I'll bring my stick!

 

[Patchey*]

We better not be using any of those ******* softer hockey balls.
I like my hockey balls the same way I like my breasts. Hard.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Pick a date and location, and I'll see if I can make it.

 

[Intoewsables]

Definitely in!

 

[StIllmatic]

Depends on the location for me

 

[RandV]

Depending on when I can probably make it.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Lets turn this into an all-day event. Tournament, BBQ, fireworks, everything. The HF Summer Classic

Sadly, I don't think you will be able to make it...I was thinking late-May, early-Juneish so we can get some more certainly with weather but Summer Classic is sounding pretty good right now. Again if anyone has some suggestions for location, I wouldn't mind looking at as many options as possible. Ron McLean Park, Brentwood possibilities so far. I'm shooting for Burnaby because it seems to be so central to everyone spread out on HF in the GVRD.

That would be some kind of epic. Definitely on board.

Replace fireworks with:

 

[y2kcanucks]

I'd be interested in helping set up this Summer Classic if people want to make this big. And if it ends up being just street hockey (ie. on foot and no blades) then I'd probably look into buying goalie gear.

My local friends group used to do this. Although we lived in a suburban area so it was more like find a parking lot near someones house, bring a cooler full of beer and then go to house for BBQ after.

We did it on Canada day and then went downtown for the fireworks. Good times.

 

[HAMMY5]

Call it Hf summer classic and Im in I could provide the trophy as well

If it's in Burnaby, I'm in with a few conditions:

1. Timing. Obviously I'm at work during the day.
2. I can't rollerblade, so feet would need to be an option.
3. I'm old and out of shape and too much running might very well kill me, so if it's going to be hyper-competitive and guys fighting and what not I canna make it.

I know we used to play ball hockey back in the day...maybe...8-9 years ago?...in Burnaby, and there's a few community centers/gyms around that will rent out space for a few hours. Ended up being something like $5 to $10 a head for a few hours, which was never really an issue for anyone. Make scheduling a bit of a headache but it was a great environment for playing.

Anyway, let me know. I do miss playing, even if I could probably run no more than 20 feet without winding myself atm.

That can become an issue when looking for volunteers to play net.

 

[Nuckles]

I might be interested, but I'd need to know the date and location.

 

[Chobomin]

I've got full goalie gear, but no mask or goalie stick.

I have a spare goalie stick I can lend out if you need, Patchey.

If you bring your sister to the game, that is.

As long as you don't hack my ankles. God that's frustrating.
