Couldn't get quite enough players out, sorry gang. Have a great Memorial Day. See you at CanAm!! 

Don't want to muddy the waters on Saturday's roll call but wanted to see if anyone's up for playing Monday morning too.  I'm thinking 9am or 10am or whatever works for the goalies...  GOALIES?

I'm in goal.  Anyone else around this long weekend?

Weather looks to be back to normal, so 1pm start time. Goalies? Olaf’s after, then after that, oh I don’t know, catch a punk show??? I just happen to know of one in Ballard. My band Hammerschlagen is up third. 

Should be a warm one. Forecast says 80s by the afternoon. Let's start at 11am when the temp will be in the 60s instead. You're goalies will thank you when they don't get heat stroke.

I'm in net. Need a 2nd goalie and whole bunch of other players. Who's in?

Only 3 more weeks to…

Seattle Beer Week kicks off today, and next Saturday 5/18 is the SBW Battle of the Beer Bands. My band Hammerschlagen plays at 10pm. So play hockey, drink at Olaf’s, then come to Conor Byrne in Ballard and rock out. Hockey, beer, music. What a country!!…

I'm back for a return to guard one of the nets. Only 4 weeks til Can Am.

Let's try to start right at 1pm. I gotta leave by about 3:45pm.

How many first-round matches did y'all pick correctly?

Also, LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER TOMORROW

Is there a minimum age to play? My 15 year old son is interested in playing street hockey beyond our cul de sac. He's 5'11" and not a hothead. 

game on!

Hey all,

How beginner-friendly is this? I want to get into ball-hockey but I'm a far below average player so I wouldn't want to let my team down too much if it's quite competitive.

Thanks!

Hey! I'm getting my own stick to use for this coming Saturday, but I have a friend who wants to try coming and isn't sure if he wants to invest in a stick yet.  Would anyone be gracious enough to bring a spare one for him to use on Saturday?

Would be much appreciated. 

Thanks!

Where’s everyone?!

Hey I'm super new to this sport. Do I need to bring my own stick, and if so, recommendations on expensive ones to start on and where to buy?

Game on!

Been watching vintage Hasek videos to prepare, can't wait to get absolutely dusted 

Who's in????

Today is a perfect day for hockey. Do we have enough?

Getting this up early, Mach's last game is this weekend.  Come one come all to watch him pitter patter around salmon bay with those baby steps and unleash those Mach 7 wristers 14ft wide. 

The only picture of Mach in action from the weekend is below, not sure what that says but I'm happy to see he's moving the wrong direction…

Just putting this out there in case anyone wants them, but I have probably 10 or so composite/one-piece sticks that have their blades worn down from the blacktop at Salmon Bay.  I know sometimes people use the shafts for one thing or another, so just putting it out there in case anyone has interest in them before I throw them out.  I can bring them this Saturday if anybody wants them.  They are mostly True sticks with maybe an Easton or Warrior thrown in there. All senior sized.

I've been looking forward to it for months, but my gf's parents are visiting from Asia on the Jun 1 weekend :(

This is 100% a selfish request, so I'm ready to make up for it appropriately: bringing beer for everyone, making a sizable donation to the SSH Bank, etc.
