A Friday night seems to be the logical choice, here is the link to the New England Sports Center rates and availability thru the first week of February.

We would need at least 10 guys to make it worthwhile, hopefully TFP thinks we would be worthy enough to grace us with his "A-league" talent.

So what Friday nights would work for everyone? Lets start throwing out some dates for the next few months.

[TheShynessClinic]

With a week or two of notice, I am available any and every Friday for the next month or two except for 2/15.

So count me in as a definite yes.

I can skate any Friday night except 1/18 or 2/1.

I have BU hockey tickets 1/18, 2/8, 2/22, 3/1. The other days work for me.

Will need to rent some skates though.

I can do pretty much any Friday night as well, with a weeks notice or so.

[Dummy Hoy]

Any Friday except 1/18 for me.

[behindthepen]

Marlboro is a pain for me to get to but if you need guys I can bring all of my D+ talent.

[TheShynessClinic]

So far looking like 3/8 might be the best date for everyone being available - if only more people replied to this thread....

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

I would love to go. Lemme check my schedule.

[NickEsasky]

I assume skating around badly holding milk crates would be frowned upon?

[PedroSpecialK]

either 2/8 or 3/8 would be great for me. Really any week will probably work

[Spaulding Smails]

3/8 looks pretty good for me.

[The Four Peters]

I can never tell my work schedule that far ahead but any Friday except for 1/25 should work for me as far as I can tell. Trying to figure out where I'll be in March is useless though, so I can't commit to that.

We may need a second goalie....

edit: For what it's worth, if we're at 8-9 people, and need a couple more to make it really competitive - I have a couple of friends around here who'd love to get in some ice time.

Ditto for me, I can almost certainly make a Friday skate.

[changer591]

I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but if you need a D- talented goalie, keep me in the loop. Marlboro is easy since that's where I work...and I know it sucks to have skate time with 1 or no goalies. Plus, I can almost guarantee I'll make you look good.

That being said, I'm sure many of you know other goalies who are surely better than me...so it's no big deal if you don't need me.

I like this guy.

[TheRealness]

Depending on when it is, I might be able to make it and I am a goalie.

I reserve the right to two-pad someone's knees though.

[kenneycb]

Are you Dominick Hasek?

[changer591]

I like this guy.

You'll like me more once you get a hat trick against me.
But seriously, I used to play in my company league where the teams go whatever goalie was assigned to play that day, gave it up last season because they started getting some guys that used to play in D1 colleges and I ALWAYS got matched up against them because of scheduling. So it kind of blew to always be on the losing end every single game. However, for a skate-time where it's just for shits and giggles, I can strap the pads back on and hope my muscles don't explode the first time I drop down on the ice.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Except next Friday, I'm basically available any Friday to spend an hour generally embarrassing myself. It wouldn't be much of a change from my usual.

Wait...you need to rent skates?

 

But you have all the other equipment?

[AMcGhie]

I have nothing.  I have never played hockey.  Am looking for a beginners adult league to learn though.

Look up fmcicesports.com. They have some adult learn to play and pick up games. They have coaches and do drills. It usually is a mix of guys who haven't played or are taking it back up after a long time.

Check on HNA.com too. Pricey but I know guys who have come up through their beginner leagues.

[tonyandpals]

Any interest in pond hockey? It's a lot cheaper and lord knows it's been cold enough. I can check my local pond and see how it held up with the dustings we've had.

 

I know there's a place in Nashua near Holman stadium that they flood each year.

[AMcGhie]

Thanks for the recs

If you can paddle you can already make a decent drop pass. :-)

[Hildy]

Our rink is looking good, but apparently there's an inch of rain coming in tomorrow, so tough to plan for the weekend.  Cold front coming through on Thursday, probably good to go by Sunday...

[tonyandpals]

I need to skate. Playing in a tourney in early April. I haven't skated in months.  The treadmill isn't cutting it...

 

edit: The team I am playing on is looking for another player. C level defensemen. If interested PM me.
