Roller hockey

[noahleigh]

Hi,
 
I live in Astoria and I want to play roller hockey!  There also happens to be a perfect roller hockey rink two blocks from my house by 28th street and 36th avenue. Reply or send me an email if interested (noah.lipton@gmail.com).
 
Thanks,
Noah

Seems like a good idea, I haven't played in probably 12 years, but if something was put together I'd consider coming out of retirement.

I used to play there only like 4-5 yrs ago and even before that but slowly everyone went away and the mexican soccer players took over . Pretty sad  since its a hockey rink , but our players didnt show up .  They used to have league games there too  , such a shame they dont anymore .  If you guys play  let me know and i can get a few guys .

[noahleigh]

Looks like there are a number of guys up for playing. One guy suggested a rink by Whitestone. I don't have a car but it sounds like some other guys do. I'm up for either place, although we might have to play at a weird hour by Dutch Kills as it tends to be busy. If you guys want to send me your email I'll get you in on the other conversation I'm having over email.

I'm totally down. I play in an indoor league in Farmingdale, so I just have to see if I still have outdoor wheels. I saw that rink on google maps and was totally curious about it. Anyone know a goalie?

What's the surface of the rink on 36th ave?

[noahleigh]

Pretty sure the surface is concrete. One of the guys who contacted me said he has full goalie equipment but can't play goal because of his back.

if you guys set something up and i'm around, i'll play. i went down there a couple of times a few years ago when i first moved here just to skate and shoot around.

the rink by Whitestone is...err, was good. again this info is 3-4 years old, but there was always a good crew of guys down at that rink for pickup games in the early evenings and on weekends.

anyone playing ice hockey at City Ice in LIC this spring? i have some friends trying to put together a team. i'm already playing on a team for Hockey Long Island, but considering playing at City Ice too, just because it's so freakin' close and convenient.

[Rangers42]

I would love to play ice hockey in LIC but I think it's expensive, no?


Well I found my other set of wheels, so sign me up. I'd rather stay local but if the consensus is whitestone I'd be down for that too.


Noahleigh I'll send you my email now.

Are people up for meeting this Sunday at Dutch Kills?  Obviously if it rains we won't meet.

[Rangers42]

I can't do Sunday but I can do tomorrow, Saturday.

[thanos27]

Problem is at Dutch Kills  on any nice day the Mexicans get there at 7am and Volleyball next r out

[noahleigh]

I can't do today, plus it's raining. I know what u mean about the volleyball. Rink might still b clear. If we show up and they're their maybe can make a deal to take the rink an hour later or something.

I remember a group that played by Hoyt a couple of years ago but then the skateboarders took over .  They were in their early 20's .    Do you end up with a goalie >?      Ill pass by this Sunday , hope some guys show up cuz back in the days Hoyt was so packed with roller hockey players , we sometimes had 3 linechanges on each team !    WTF happened ???
