Just some quick questions
Hey guys, I'm really looking forward to coming out and meeting everyone. There were just a few things I was wondering about before my first game, if somebody doesn't mind me asking.
Is passing a big part of the play style? The last place I played, the surface was kind of bad and the ball bounced a lot. Because of this, guys had their heads down a lot, and between that and the way the surface made the ball go in unpredictable ways, we didn't do a lot of passing. Lots of shoot and swarm.
How many guys do you usually get? Do you play 5-on-5? Are there line changes or substitutions? Do people ever get turned away because they are too many?
What's the typical age range?
How much contact is there? Don't worry - I'll play any style you want, from no contact at all to Thunderdome. Just trying to figure out what I'm in for.
Anything else I should know (get there early, bring spare balls, etc.)?

Yo, tek-nik-ly I'm as hard as steel.
I'm impressed Laing, not as many lies as usual.
Kevin, will you let everyone know that I won't be there this weekend?

It's not timed. We play until the first team gets to 5 goals and then we swap ends. We stay on the same team until one team wins 2 games (best of 3). Then we throw sticks in the middle and do it all again.

Q: Is passing a big part of the play style?
A: Everyone plays differently. The surface doesn't hinder or support any one style of play unless its raining.
Q: How many guys do you usually get?
A: Some weeks we get a handful, other weeks there's 10 subs on each team.
Q: Do you play 5-on-5?
A: Usually, unless there's not enough people
Q: Are there line changes or substitutions?
A: Subs.
Q: Do people ever get turned away because they are too many?A: Not during our regular weekly games. The annual Canada vs USA game is a bit different.
Q: What's the typical age range?
A: Youngest is ~20, oldest is 50+
Q: How much contact is there?
A: Little to no contact. No checking, play the ball first. Obviously there will be some incidental contact in scrimages in front of the net, in the corners, etc.
Q: Anything else I should know?
A: 1) Bring a dark AND a white shirt - do not bring a grey shirt to pass off as one or the other. 2) Do not get on Bubbles' bad side. You'll know him when you see him.

Oh yeah - do you play timed games or up to a certain score? What time are you usually done?
