Anaheim Ice has usually had a decent turn out of players but it being rookie league they limit it to 4 teams. Explanation we got was because they only want to limit 2 time slots for Rookie League. Usually dont mind it cause it averages to about 12 players max. Still plenty of ice time...

Not this season we have 74 players and 4 teams! When they told us it was about 18 players per team! https://media1.giphy.com/media/H4zeD...=200.webp&ct=g
i couldn't believe it. They ended up offering people refunds after the clinic since people complained. I might have to take that refund an look for a new home. But we'll see how man players dropped whenever they send out teams. No way am i getting decent ice time playing with 3 lines.

Im sad.

People must be itching to play. My roller league has 9 teams in the lower division.

Wish people had the itch to be goalie. So far 1 team will have to sub a goalie as only 3 signed up this season.

Hope im not on that team.

Come sub for my team! I know it's a long drive for you, and our new sub fee is $45(!!) but I promise you'll have fun!

I was about to say the same thing, in my head I'm thinking $25-$30.

Anaheim Ice went from $35 to $45 this year also.

Wtf $40 sub fee, better come with a lap dance

Skated in our drop in last weds, first time on ice in three weeks. Knee was not pleased. Thought all the walking and biking I was doing was going to get it there. Seems ill need more drugs when I play.
Pickup was fun, there were a couple of really decent skaters and the tempo got kicked up due to it. Managed to make some nice passing plays, even had some decent point shots. Highlight of the night though was chunking a one timer that fluttered weakly to the goalie... I took a bit of razzing for that one.
