Hi there,
I am moving to Ottawa for Carleton. I got offered a spot in their Social Work program and I'm taking it. I move up in 2 weeks and will be living in the Nepean area (On Cordova).
I have a few questions for some of the locals. I hope this is the right place to ask this..
1) Anyone know of any Facebook groups for organizing pickup hockey? In Halifax here there is a facebook group with 1000 members that people post looking for players all the time.
2) Any recommended mens leagues? I am a fairly good complimentary hockey player; I can play well above my skill level if the players I'm playing with are good, but not quite good enough to carry the play / take over a game. I play with Jr. A / B caliber players currently and can hold my own. I'm off because of a shoulder injury / surgery so would probably like to get some tuneup games in a lower skill level first before I touch faster hockey. I'm 26 years old.
3) Anyone have experience playing in Carleton's mens league? I am interested in that as well.
4) BSAHL - any good?
5) How much does the average pickup cost in the area? In Halifax it runs between 8 and 15 dollars usually.
6) Any recommended skate sharpeners? I am very, VERY particular about my skate sharpening. I need to find a guy or girl in Ottawa that is able to consistently sharpen my skate the same each time.
Any other information would be awesome. Thanks a lot and I'm looking forward to being up in Ottawa soon!
