So you've watched hockey on TV, or gone to Bucs games or maybe have kids that play the sport and you wonder what it would be like to play.
"I've never skated" , "I'm too old to learn" or "There are no beginner leagues" are some of excuses or reasons I've heard from adults as to why they won't start playing hockey. Well there are no more excuses!
Currently, we have a true beginner adult hockey league that is in session. The league is currently in Week#4 of a 9 week session. We have 30 players and most are skating for the first time as adults. There are 10 women in the league and the age range of players is 14-50+.
The group has practices/games on Sundays at 2:30 - 4:00 PM and it consists of 45 minutes of practice and a 45 minute scrimmage. We work on skating, passing & shooting drills and during the scrimmage we focus on positioning and game play.
Our goal is to have a 4 team Novice league once this 9 week session ends. The beauty of the league is a player can join at anytime. We will prorate the fee and are encouraging all newcomers to join. We need to have at least 40 players at the start of the next session which will most likely start on November 14th and run 20 weeks. Game times will be at 2:30 & 4:00 PM (still on Sundays).
At a minimum, come out anytime to Bucs Arena and watch the league practice. Once you see it, you should be able to say "I CAN do that." If you have any questions about league structure, costs, gear on anything else, email me and let me know.
If you are already a player in any of the other leagues, use this as a way to recruit your friends, neighbors and co-workers into hockey.
Hope to see many new faces on Sundays!
