Thread: Looking for a team

I'm 19 years old and have been out of competitive hockey for close to a year due to my lung collapsing. I've been getting back on the ice lately, and working out some kinks, and I'm feeling ready to play at a higher level again.

I've been planning on checking out a Long Beach State game to see how that looks.

Michigan was always my #1 choice, because of they're dominance, and they seem to love having the small, fast, italian forward every year or so. (Cammalleri, Tambellini, Cogliano)

Outside of the collegiate level, I really have NO IDEA where I could play a good level of hockey, especially living in Southern California.



Any suggestions or advice would help, thanks.

monday nights theres a good pickup game at the bay harbor rink that has a good level of play, its 20 bucks and starts around 730 usually

This guy ....

.... does an awesome job of (a) making sure every game has a 2-minute shift timer and (b) keeping the grade-A talent (you, if you played serious travel hockey) seperate from the grade-B talent (me; middle-aged and one step above novice).

Do you have to know somebody and get "invited" to play in this, or is it first-come, first served?

THere's an ice rink at cerritos and norwalk. The Norwalk Ice Arena is kind of sketchy though
