Harb67 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Anyone here into recreational ice hockey in the Columbus area?I just finished the regular season in intramural ice hockey, and I can't help but wonder if there are any rec leagues around here. Nothing really serious, just a 'for fun' league. I'm not particularly good; I'm really out of shape when it comes to anything but lifting I played in high school though, so I've got the fundamentals down just fine.I know there are some rec leagues up in northeastern Ohio (Strongsville has some I think) but that's a tad far lol. If there were any down here, ESPECIALLY a summer league, me and my buddy would join up for sure. I just dunno where to look for em; I'm out of the loop when it comes to hockey in central Ohio.

RVTPilot Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I wish I was capable of being that coordinated. I used to hang with a dude in H.S. that played in rec league and pickup games at Winterhurst in Lakewood up here. I went a couple times and held a stick in the corner of the ice while I peed on myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoosego Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I haven't played since '81 back in detroit... I'd need to get my skate legs back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should start an Ohio-Riders team...that would be entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I played D-league intramural at OSU for 2 seasons. I had a lot of fun, but I was so bad that even the ref was making fun of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lot of fun, but I was so bad that even the ref was making fun of me. Lol, I'm in D right now. I could play a higher league but I'm just in it for the fun, and the teams in anything higher than D take it way too seriously...plus I could use some cardio training. I played C one season and got winded too quickly to really enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Love watching(Go Wings) but have never even had skates on. I'd be hilarious to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleCock Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 apch8r played somewhere last year...not sure if he's playing right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I would try to play... I know I would suck at first but I dont care. haha You guys can come watch and laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy O Furniture Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I played in A league when I was in school at OSU, but I would play in B if I were playing as a staff member. I haven't played in several years. ugh... Cmoose is right, the chiller has some good competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 soo... OR hockey league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy O Furniture Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Even if we don't get in a league, we could rent ice time for an hour or two. When everyone who is playing chips in, it isn't that expensive. I can see about renting ice time at the OSU rink (the ice isn't that great, but it is ice).

yotaman88210 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 If we can get a large group, like you said, im sure it will be reasonable! I guess I will have to look into skates now. Damn, more money I dont have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hah wow this has taken off more than I expected. I would totally be up for an Ohio Riders team or league or renting ice or any of the other ideas that have been mentioned. It'd be a blast ive been taking ice skating at ohio state this quarter. ive never played hockey but its the ultimate goal and it would be cool to have a group to fart around with.on a side note- were you riding around campus today harb? i saw a ninja 650 tooling around.No Mine is up near Akron at my parents house until spring break *weep* Todays weather was so nice too...Are you taking Skating 2 with Habart? I took that last year for shits; I already knew more or less everything they had to teach from high school, but it was still a ton of fun to go out and skate once a week. I just love being on the ice...I don't care what I'm doing out there I want to take Skating 3 but it always clashes with my normal classes Power skating is some of the best exercise you can get, and doing it twice a week would be awesome.

Benyen Soljax Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 no im in skating one. ive skated off and on for years, but never had any formal training. im probably the second best skater in the class, but he still pushes the more advanced people just as much as the newbs, so im always learning stuff. hes really helping me out with skating backwards and other simple stuff im not good at yet. i love it and go to free skate as much as i can. do you ever go to free skate?

cmoosego Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think you can also rent skates at the chiller..... I can look into it there also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirPsycho Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 There is a roller hockey rink in Gahanna. I know it is not ice hockey but I would be good to go for some fun on roller blades. It looks like it is free just show up and skate. I work at NetJets and there are a couple people here I know would be interested. One is a goalie.Go WingsNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoticRebel Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 An OR pick up game would be awesome. ScrappyGrl and I both played in an all women's league in Newark for a few seasons. We got kicked out because we were too competitive. It's not my fault I was faster than the rest of them and couldn't pass to them because they were BEHIND me on a wide open breakaway. Anyway, we've been itching to hit the ice again though. If somebody puts this together that'd be sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've toyed with the idea of getting the quarter-long pass or whatever package deal they have and going to the noonish open skates and doing some power skating as a workout, cuz I have really bad feet and can't run Never got around to it though simply because it's a pain to skate, go home, shower, and then go to class. Too much stuff to do in the middle of the day. Maybe during the summer though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in the winter is snowed, melted, and then froze just enough to make it slick enough for normal pucks...THAT was fun Running around in shoes chasing pucks and dicking around at 1 AM in freezing weather lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
