Hey NYC goalie,,, i know this thread is very old but I just joined the Astorians, it brings me back to my young years so much, I was born and raised in Astoria and started playing hockey at the age of 4. Where/whom did I play for??? Yep u said it yourself Most Precious Blood. Hockey was very HUGE in Astoria as u said. I remember our schoolyard with the boards going down only one side of our yard, during the all star games every year I remember going down into the cafeteria where they would serve us hot chocolate between periods. Wow such wonderful memories,, when we first started, ages 4-6 I remember we would get sweatshirts as our jersey with a little guy with a hockey stick on front,, as we got older our first real jersey were Flyer jerseys,,, we were the MPB flyers,, we had much talent on our teams,, coach (mr. Myers) was a great influence on all us kids At the time,, we were a great organization that brought many championships to MPB,,, miss that time so much,,,,, ohhhh and yes I'm gonna go back to schoolyard to check out those faded circles, etc,,, thanks again
