    Sums me up, living in Virginia hockey was never that far up on the list. My friends and I decided to start an IM team sophomore year, and then realized that only half of us could skate. So I hauled myself to Lynah for open skate a bunch of times until I could get from point A to point B, not too prettily though. Then a few years of IM, but still not near nay level one could call "good".

      I've always played pickup with the boys, but never organized. I was a figure skater for a bunch of years. Considered playing IM with the boys this year, but not enough time. Hopefully I'll form a team next year with my sorority and a co-opping fraternity. Playing broomball for sure though.

        So we can count on you being part of the YooP v. world challenge next spring, right?

        It's only a 10hour drive. And I hear there are some big games about 40 miles from where the game will take place....

          I'm highly considering it, yes.

                Never played organized, but a lot of pickup with everyone in numerous neighborhoods. There were three outdoor rinks not far from our house.

                I was a goalie a lot, because i wasn't afraid of the puck. I would also be on defense quite a bit because I could skate backwards.

                  Double post:

                  The only thing I do that is related to hockey is goal judge every once and a while. I really ticked off the Elk River 14-15 girls team a year or two ago.

                  It was in, you silly broads.

                      Stopped playing as I am now on the ice 7 days a week coaching ... my wife thinks that is plenty of ice.

                        I wore Cooperalls and a Northland "Stan Mikita" helmet back in the 80s.

                              edit: did not see that you moved away from VA. I recently moved here and can't really find any close hockey. Might have to suck it up and drive to roanoke to do stick and puck once a week. Unfortunately, once a week is barely maintenance let alone actually improving.

                              Here is a list of some folks from the UNH squad who played back in the day. Don't ask why I am posting this, mostly because I am bored and have no plans on Friday night ( hate moving to new places where I don't know anyone). One poster, Gozen, used to play steet hockey with us. He was friends with dave ( bigbadcow). He played juniors so it was unfair when he would dangle through three overweight frat boys. The only active poster who used to be on my team was unhrouge. I think we are going to reunite our line at the posters game in Detroit this April.

                                I played consistently from 3 until I started undergrad (Michigan cut IM hockey the year I started college), did drop-in a few times junior year (second time I did drop-in after not playing for two years involved Ian Cole, Eric Ehn, Teddy Ruth, and a few people from the US-under 18 team...not the best thing for one's confidence), and found a men's league team senior year. Now I'm in grad school in Minneapolis, and hopefully I can find somewhere to play drop-in/pond hockey (IM teams filled up before I got around to registering).
