Been playing with this group of guys for about 5-6 years now.

The games are held every Saturday from 10:00am to noon, weather permitting, in a very large parking lot in the Dufferin and Steeles and since it is a municipal property, is well maintained and usually plowed in the winter.

Anyway, there is a solid core group of about 14 guys on the current distribution and a few guys have "retired" due to age, moving away, married with new babies etc. al.

We are looking to add some new people to the distribution this year as not everyone shows up each week, and at minumum, we need at least 6 guys to play so we can have 3 on 3. You do not need to commit to playing every week, just play when you can. A weekly email is sent out soliciting who can play and a go/no-go decision to play, is made each Friday afternoon.

The ages of the guys playing is between 20 and 50. However, all ages are welcome. We play to have fun, get some much needed exercise, network a little and then also occasionally enjoy a beer and some wings after the game at St. Louis Bar and Grill down the road.

Aggressive stickwork, rough playing or serious body contact will not be tolerated. Accidents do happen, but trust us, we've been playing long enough to know the difference. All of us want to win and the games can be competitive, but if you think that a game of ball hockey is your ticket to the NHL and you lack respect for others, please do not apply...

The skill level in the group varies wildly, but overall, it is about average. Even if you feel you're not very good, but you want some exercise and want to get better, you are more than welcome. We've had players who didn't even know how to hold the stick properly a few years ago, who are now much better players.

Basically, I'm looking for about 2-6 guys who are interested in doing this and getting some exercise. Every person who plays hockey here, joined as a complete stranger to the rest of the group, so don't feel awkward.

The first scheduled game is this Saturday, October 3rd between 10:00am to noon. We play throughout the winter and the games end in early May and then start back up in October each year.

Please send me a PM if interested with your email address and I will then send you all the details and location etc. via email and will have you added to the main distribution.

Would be nice to see some TM3'ers take part.

Bump for anyone who might be interested.
You don't need to commit to playing each week. Just play when you can or when you feel like it.

This costs nothing, except for gas to get to the game. Great exercise and good bunch of guys.

We have 2 TM3 members, in addition to myself, signed up to play when they can.

It is that time of year again folks. New players are still welcome. We had a few TM3'ers come out last year. Ami and Phil have been out a few times and can also let you know more about it.

Anyway, if you're interested in playing, send me a PM. Saturday's between 10:00am-12:00noon.

More details below:

Just come out one time when you can and see how it is. The first game is always the most difficult, but your body will get used to it real fast. Send me a PM if you decide and are serious. I can get you on the email distro so you know if we're playing or not.

That sucks Phil... you missed some great games last week too. :)

No worries. Just let me know about next week. Send me a PM also with your email if you want on the main distribution.

As for Phil, he does that on almost all his break-away's. We named the move the 'chicken wing fake'.
