I began inline skating in 1994. Some friends and I all decided to get blades at the same time. I started playing hockey almost immediately--mostly pickup games with friends. A turning point in my hockey "career" came when I moved to Atlanta in 1995. Roller hockey is alive and well here. I found an outdoor hockey rink. I'd never seen one before. I started skating there often. I told friends about it and continued playing pick up games. In the spring of 1997 I felt I was ready to join a league. I started playing with a church league, but it never got off the ground. So I decided to organize my own games. During the summer our church youth group (The GYM) hosted weekly pickup games. During one of the games, a Russian dude told me about a rink less than two miles from my house. I couldn't believe it. Now I live there! I practice there, play pickup games on Sundays and have even referreed there. I have met a lot of people in the past year through hockey. In October 97 I joined my first hockey league and volunteered to be the captain of the team, Team Voodoo. That really means I just call everybody to remind them of the next game. Our first season we were 4-5-1. Check the Team Voodoo website to see how we are doing currently. If you're interested in roller hockey and live in Atlanta and want some hockey friends, let me know.
