45 bucks an hour is a lot of money to spend when you want to just screw around for an hour or two. Really wish they would start building basketball hoops with hockey nets installed at the bottom.
And there was a sign up outside the tennis court saying no activities other than tennis were permitted. So the guy wasn't in the wrong, we just got pissed at him because he was such an ass about it. He just walks up to us, points out that we're not supposed to be playing there and asks us if we could move somewhere else, and we do it. He immediately begins screaming at us and ordering us to get off the court, and we're going to continue playing out of spite.
I've been saying that for years about bball courts. The biggest drawbacks to getting kids into hockey are the lack of a place to play and the cost of equipment.
i know this has little meaning for all of you in buffalo and god knows where else but there are actually several out door hockey rinks with in a 20minute drive from me. one of which (this is the basketball tie-in) is actually a series of basketball courts that is caged in and has rounded corners. its a hockey rink with like 6 bball courts set up in it. the downside is that i believe the poles for the hoops are actually inside the fence...permanent defensemen...?
Bet they throw a mean body check. We don't have anything here, but then again, this is Syracuse. The rink by me, the Greater Baldwinsville Ice Arena doesn't ever have any open skate time (at least not according to their schedule).
However, the Cicero ice arena, which did have several skate and shoots during the winter months (at 8am on weekdays) that I could not attend due to work is now open to me as an option if they are still having them. I should check their schedule tomorrow.
