    Yeah, really couldn't tell you anything, I never got around to trying to play at all when I was home so I couldn't really say what's in the area.

      I'll challenge anyone in broomball!

      Hockey...havent played since I was 6. I played with 9 and 10 yearolds and held my own speed wise. Never got to play a game. Got really sick the night before the first game and was hospitalized for 10 days with Juvenille Rheumatoid arthritis.

      Never touched the ice again until last year when I tried to learn how to skate again. Did decently but fell my fair share as well. I've been doing a lot more roller blading instead.

      Parents never let me play or get into hockey again after i missed that first season. Pretty disappointing now that I look back on it because I feel like I could have been decent given how much I watched the game and obssessed over it when I was young. Not guaranteeing any D-I scholarships but with how much I liked it I have a feeling I would have worked at it enough to make myself a semi decent player for my age. But ya never know...All i can now is wonder.

        Played from 5 years of age through sophmore year, only house leagues though. Have thoughts about pulling the gear out every once in a while, but haven't had a chance to since I started school in NYC. I just referee during the winters now and picked up broomball a few years ago, luckilly there is a league in NYC to continue playing at too.

          Played the game since I was 5 years old...never really stopped. Attempted to walk on to UND in 2002...practice squad for a few weeks, then told not good enough. Played intramurals at UND and still play drop in every now and then at DU.

          I will not be playing in the posters game this year; I'm saving up my talent for 2011 in Minny.

              I play, started seriously late in high school. I started playing goalie about four years ago, which I do mostly exclusively now. I also have my Level 3 Coaching Certification.

                I coach 2-3 nights a week, and play in a very casual, low-skill league once a week.

                I think co-ed, no-check/no-slap should be mandatory for all screeching hockey parents.

                    I have coached and would prefer the full contact puck in the store version for some parents.

                      Re: Who here actually plays hockey?

                      I played High School hockey growing up in New England. RW and Center. Back then the school couldn't afford practice ice except once per week, so we practiced on a local pond.
                      After not making the Tech team as a walk-on I played intramural for 4 years and our team was pretty good. As I remember there were over 100 IM teams.

                      Once I started working for a living I played less and less. Especially because I lived in the south. Would like to start back up at some point, but can't really afford dental work.

                        Started playing when I was 6 and living in Madison. Played all through high school and then in the ACHA. Still skate twice a week in a beer league. Having hockey in Oklahoma keeps me sane living here.

                          I doubt it counts, but played boot-hockey for about 10 years. Goalie/Defense.

                          Gimme a break, the concept is the same.
                          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              Figure skating only. Could jump and spin. I was going to be the next Peggy Flemming or Janet Lynne. (Gimme a break- when I was a kid girls weren't allowed to play hockey where I lived)
