OT: Pick up dek hockey on long island this Saturday

[niccolo19]

Some people from these forums as well as other islander fan forums are going to play street/dek hockey tomorrow morning in Lindenhurst from 1030am-230pm.

We play in sneakers with a ball, no equipment necessary (stick of course, most people wear gloves, few wear shin pads) 5v5 with 2 goalies, maybe a sub each team. Ages range from 15-45 year olds, semi-competitive, very fun! We already have the two goalies, but if anyone wants to play forward or D, you are more then welcome to come. We have timed periods, we keep score, it is pretty cool. Plus we talk hockey.
Snacks and drinks are provided, so shoot me a PM if you want to come down.

If we get enough people we can do tournament style 3 teams of 5, game to 3 or 15 min. game (whichever comes first) winner stays on! Eventually the winning team gets tired and a new winning team will stay on. We play for several hours its a blast!

It's a little far for me here in Jersey, but I'd definitely be interested if it was closer. For anyone seeing this, shoot me a PM if you know of pick up/dek leagues in NJ

I'd love to, but I'm done with laterally quick sneaker sports like dek hockey/basketball. Too many destroyed ankles

The video brought back a lot of memories of playing as a kid on the Island.

Where do you play? Venetian? I grew up in Lindy and played on just about every Dek rink in Suffolk. If I didnt live in Saratoga County, I would be there!

I'd totally do it if I still lived in NJ.

Damn! I would've went but I have to cover for someone at work who was in an auto accident. I play out at Rapid Fire 2x/week. Keep me mind for the future, though, would love to play.
