pond hockey pick up game........

Who'd be interested? :D

YOur @#$%&^7 Nuts:smash:

:D I,m in,can we wear korkers instead of skates

I am the Bobby Orr of pond hockey. We skate sun up till we can't take it anymore. We have flood lights a light tower, and a generator that we haul to what ever pond has good ice. With this snow, gonna be bad for skateable ice. I am definately in. Keep me posted of when and where. I also have two pond hockey nets that I can bring that we made up about 15 years ago that are only 18 inches high, so people don't get their shins smashed up by people aiming high.

Now your talkin':btu:


I'm the Tie Domi of pond hockey:fishslap::smash: :laughs:

Come to barbeques house in holyoke.

we drink allot of beer then go and skate around and punch each other.

Lets try for 10-12people, then we make the plans.....

Goose you know of any good bog? I know there are plenty in Pembroke.

I should drive up there and teach you guys a hockey lesson...but I can't :sled: :rocketem:

i'm in. ogiltorp.wav (http://www.othl.net/slapshot.asp)

pond hockey = :tooth:

I'm in. I used to play in high school, but I also have not skated in as long as I can remember.

There's a good one two minutes from rt140. we'll keep an eye on temp's

which town TONY

1st NB exit (Industrail park) headed south on 140. There is also a better one off 195 in dartmouth but has to be on a sunday.

What are some good names for teams.... S-B cheifs, S-B linesiders, S-B offsiders, S-B puck hogs, S-B figure eightors:D

wish I could but the Doctors say NO MORE HOCKEY .

fishin in the winter... sound slike fun.

Specialist -

Just played ice last night. I am IN for this event - just lettme know when and where I need to be.

Thanks,

Ice

:happy: :happy: :happy:

Id be in for sure, sounds like a good time..........but im not getting between the boots:laughs: a few years back, we used to play for the stanley keg sometime in january, get about 20 of us together, play for like 10 hours, best out of 7, losers buy the keg, winners hoist it when it was empty, man, thems was some good times...:happy: :D

iceman, where do you play ? i play in either w bridgewater or taunton on thursday nights, in the semho league, how bout you ?

Pops02 -

Yup loser buys the keg. Or we use it as a shoe! I play a couple times a week @ Chelsea Piers in NYC - my team also travels and plays some tourneys in Montreal, Vegas, and Utah. Well when the wives, girlfriends, jobs let us.... The Specialist started this thread and when the temps freeze The Specialist will "GID"

I can rent out ice in Central Park - an outdoor rink called called Lasker Rink. Swimming Pool in the summer, Ice Rink in the winter - owned by the Donald. Prob. Much easier for me to head to you all though....

Ice

love to lace em up again. only thing i have left are skates, everything else is gone including my knees!! i'd love to borrow some pads and slap the pipes again! i have a friend who might still skate. maybe he'll let me borrow his equiptment. OH too be a rink rat again!! best thing about being goalie, never had to pay!!

How bout we rent a ring for an 1 1/2 late one saturday night...we did that for a number of years in NewBedford....$120 per hour, about ten bucks a head. I love the sound of bodies crashing into boards:D

Goose That sounds like a great idea. I could not commit to every week though, with the work I have going on.
ICE ICE BABY......... Get your gear up hear we gotta lay some lumber, old time hockey, Eddie Shore.....

I played hockey for 10 years. Wheres this gunna be at?

Dont go on worrying about me - just tell me when and where. Ideally a Saturday would lure them into the pond - bringing in back ol' school' style. Get it done Specialists.... Pops02 makes the rules up...

How about Master Baiters? I still play pond hockey every winter, but lately we have been getting so much snow we end up only playing 1-2 times a year. I like the idea of renting a rink. Really need two goalies to make it really work indoors though.
BTW how old is everyone? I'm 50 and have lost a step or two in the last decade.:walk:

I am 34 soon to be 35. I think I could get a goalie or 2. Goose can you look into a rink for a sat night?

Will do.

I'm 26

the rules are, there are no rules........:D

Lay on the LUmber.........

Man... wish i could make this...

Played goal middle school/high school/college.

:D

likwid, you cant make it ? come on, suit up for a game of hack and wack.....

Stopped at the rink today.....saturday nights 10:30 rink is open.

$140- -1 hr
$217.50- -1 hr 1/2

14 heads, including goalies....we'll be in for good bloody time:D.....I think an hour goes by to fast.

temps are dropping for the rest of this week-should have good ice on the shallower ponds by the weekend-I hate paying to skate:mad:

I'm 33 and stand six feet six inches. I played at University of Maine and started as a freshman. I play for the P-Bruins now, but they're think of bringing me up to the show.............................................. .....................:D

I'm 33 and short. I played in high school and haven't done much skating since. My back and legs hurt and my lungs are skimpy.
I'd love to give it a go. Full pads or just sticks and pucks?

I played an coached almost 25 yrs.would probably have a heart attack.if i gave it a go today.I'm a pathetic shell of the man I used to be.:smash: oh well.its to far to drive anyway.used to go to the lake with 10-15 sticks an pass them out all my buds would try to take the puck from me.man that is the best sport to play by far 90 seconds of pure adrenaline every 3 minutes.sucks to watch anymore.trap defenses put me to sleep.

They're skating on the bogs today!!

Skated today....nice nice ice;)

Any update on wether or not this is gonna happen? Skated all day saturday (real, real cold) and again for a few hours sunday in Scituate next to Belson's bait & Tackle when i went to drop my reels off. Any thing up for this weekend? Gonna have to do the old "zamboni thing" with this snow, but if a bunch wanna get together somewhere saturday, I'd be up for it along with at least 2 other buddies.
Traveling really isn't a problem. I can bring the nets.

After all the talk about doing this, lets try and pull it off.

That sounds great. Brooklawn park in the north end of NewBedford has excellent ice and plenty surface even an embankment on two sides. I'm into it! Can call hockey budds too.

Is Brooklawn the one on Acushnet Ave that is like a big duck pond? I always swung by there to see if people were skating back when I was in College down there, but there was never anyone playing hockey. I skated on it by myself twice. I used to drive all around Dartmouth and New Beige looking for people playing pond hockey, but always found the same thing. Lots of nice ice with nobody skating. I don't think many people down that way are into hockey, at least not like it is on the South Shore.
I am up for anything as long as it is a definite. Gotta let me know what the plans are by 3 friday, cause once I leave this place of misery, I have no web access till monday.....wait, make that Tuesday this weekend......A three day weekend comin' up.

Thats the one redlite, sunday morning there was a pick up game with nets, but your right, around here most are playin at Hetland rink. Hope some S-B'ers step up;)

Drove by the park, the whole ice surface has been plowed.

Its free.

Tempretures look real good for saturday sunday, not to cold.

Their giving away custom plugs to the first ten guys....sssh

Pond next to my house has about ten rinks shoveled off :happy:

Cal, Where in weymouth is this pond you live on ?( I temporarily live in Q-town). Goose, is the ice in New Beige good? Goose, send me a PM with a # I can reach you at in the morning (I am not gonna be home tonight and still have yet to replace the cell from the river boat incident) would prefer to play some good hockey and not have to shovel off the ice, did my share as a kid. Now that I am older, time to let the lil' ones do the work for me. So if it is gonna be good hockey for a few hours, I'll make the hour haul down there. Just let me know.

There is a very thin layer of snow one end of the plow blade didn't clean. More concerned with the # of bodies. I can drive to weymouth if there's better chance of having net's and skaters. I'm game!

Whitmans pond. I didn't think it would be safe the other day, but there were a bunch of people on it.

How bout if we get this bunch on the ice?

Bill...where the heck are you?
Milo
Goosefish
Blackeye
Barry
Sctoch B
Cheif10...good hockey name

Iceman...another one
Pops02
Jonny B
Rocketman

Working tomorrow could play possibly sunday am...

Goose--I'm working both days this weekend.

Can I play please?
What time and where?
It's been a while, I hope they're still sharp.

going to the game on sunday, so thats not good for me, but another day, definetley.

takin the kids skating today in walpole-pats game tomorrow

If anyone interted, Brooklawn park mentioned above. 11am, plenty skaters and nets

So, you guys play the other day?

Snow turned to light rain made conditions crapy.... forcast looks good this weekend.

Took my 4 year old daughter today for the first time.......she was scared to death! Daddy Daddy! I can't stand up!! :laughs:

I spent the weekend stapled to my "Executive Office Chair" with my head in a bucket. Got so dehydrated that the woman hooked me up to an IV. I skate 4 days a week and don't drink any water, so I get sick and dehydrated every week and need the woman to change my oil. A nice luxury, but you'd think I'd learn to drink water between shifts.
So I unforntunatley didn't get to skate at all outside this weekend.
Hope for some good ice by this wekend.

The Plymouth public rink has one hour open stick time on Fridays at noon til one.
You do need equipment especialy a helmet.
I've been a couple of times and a goalie has shown up both times, not many skaters only three or four.
One hour of ice for six bucks.
