    This was my experience. Went 5 months ago. Waaay too many guys on each side. Very long shifts, very little changing, but "everyone knew everyone" so it was okay...apparently. Will never drive again from the South Bay to pay for that.

    From what I remember, the pace is a little slower than Saturday mornings at Anaheim Ice. Am I wrong with that assumption Mark? Which I will be attending as soon as I get my insurance card.

    I'll PM you (Mark) when I get it.

    Saturday mornings pretty much died. I don't know why. I hoping with the winter the guys will start showing back up. But yes the morning was a stronger level pick up then the friday night.

    Sorry I missed it Mark. I thought there was going to be pick-up on Sat morning, so I didn't schedule it for Friday nignt. There will always be next week.

    Let me know when you are going.

    Can't tell you how many times I tried asking AI management to set the clock for 2-minute shifts, so that people weren't getting cold on the bench & feeling like they didn't get their money's worth of ice time .... which eventually would take it's toll in reduced attendance & reduced revenue.

    Rink management in SoCal is just off the charts when it comes to bad business decision-making. I mean, how much effort would it take to have a rink attendent (who otherwise stand around and do nothing most of the time) set the timer/buzzer before a pickup game?

    First, We are not children we are adults we should be able to manage our game without a supervisor.

    Secondly, I know its frustrating when there are coaster's on the ice. We just need to take it upon ourselves to guide these players into skating harder and taking shorter shifts. its the only way they will learn.

    Thirdly, It's frustrating when the coaster's complain that they don't get equal time with the puck. They need to learn that putting forth the effort helps them become part of the game which equals more time with the puck.

    Fourthly, Don't expect to get the puck if your not willing to put in the effort. Pretty much a repeat of third.

    thats the kind of thing i do tuesday mornings before work. plus we get set up on lines where youre matched up with people of like ability

    i know it sucks that were all adults and nobody takes charge, but thats how it happens at unorganized pickup all over. not just anaheim. ive run into that problem at logitech in san jose, khs, anaheim ice and in ventura.
