All,
I've been playing road hockey for about 3-4 years now with a group of guys every Saturday from 10am to about noon. Our season basically starts tomorrow and runs until the May 24 weekend.
The games are held in a very large parking lot in the Dufferin and Steeles and since it is a municipal property, is well maintained and plowed in the winter.
Anyway, there is a group of about 14 guys on the current distribution and a few guys have "retired" this year due to age, moving away, married with new babies etc. al.
We are looking to add some new people to the distribution this year as not everyone shows up each week, and at minumum, we need at least 6 guys to play so we can have 3 on 3. You do not need to commit to playing every week, just play when you can. A weekly email is sent out soliciting who can play and a decision is made each Friday.
The ages of the guys playing is between 25 and 50. However, all ages welcome. We play to have fun, get some much needed exercise, network a little and then also occasionally enjoy a beer and some wings after the game at St. Louis Bar and Grill.
No stickwork, rough playing or serious body contact will be tolerated. Accidents happen, but trust us, we know the difference. All of us want to win and the games can be serious, but If you think that a game of road hockey is your ticket to the NHL and you lack respect for others, please do not apply... If you're an idiot, you will not be invited back. The skill level in the group varies wildly, but overall, it is about average. Even if you feel you're not very good, but you want some exercise and want to get better, you are more than welcome. We've had players who didn't even know how to hold the stick properly a few years ago, who are now much better players.
Basically, I'm looking for about 2-4 guys who are interested in doing this and getting some exercise. Every person who plays hockey here, joined as a complete stranger to the rest of the group, so don't feel awkward.
Also, ideally we need at least one guy who can commit to playing tomorrow morning. If you can't, but are interested for the rest of the year let me know.
Please send me a PM if interested and as soon as possible, as we will need to cancel the 1st game tomorrow otherwise. I will then send you all the details and location etc. via email.
