Sure like the energy and what you do here folks - thanks for your efforts!

I'm a 40 something Federal Way resident who grew up on Long Island playing in a "deck hockey" league much of my mid-teens - travelled an hour 2 to 3 nights a week for games at the rink in Sayville. Coach owned a painting business, used to drive a dozen of us up there - we all sat on upside down paint buckets in the back of his business van. Some of the best times of my life...

I'd definitely enjoy showing up for a pickup game some time when I can find the time - it sounds like a blast. Have an 11 yo son who is interested in finding a place to play (we shoot around in the driveway all the time), and I've contemplated a little "grass roots" campaign down at this end by starting up a youth Friday night pickup game at a middle school parking lot nearby. Would love to hear any suggestions/info people might have about attempts to get a group of kids together on a somewhat regular basis to play...I was planning on using parent email distribution lists from other sports he's involved with to spread the word and try to drum up interest.

Thanks again - and hope I can dig out my old Mylec air-flo and join you one of these Saturdays -

Thanks for the reply Mark and Alan - power in numbers! For my participation, think I'd personally like to start by crashing the party in West Seattle some weekend. But my kid would be extremely stoked if we could start getting some youth teams assembled to practice/play. I'm all ears to ideas...and will try to call you Alan.

Mark and Chris -- I'm in West Seattle and would love to play hockey on a day beside Saturday, so as to complement the Ballard game. I also wonder about a kids lague for ball hockey; two of my kids love to play ball hockey and I say it's time to get it going on. Mark and Chris, please call -- my number is (206) 375-0953.

I'd be in for some pick up games down south. It's quite a drive up to Ballard so something close to home occasionally would be nice.
