This is true, I often think it resembles Rugby more than Hockey!

I've heard that some players in a local adult league drink alcohol before games.  That's astonishing to me.   It'd be a drag to get injured in a recreational game and then not be able to play.

Around here, I've only seen that with some "house" league teams. 
Sometimes the guys are more casual - but it's definitely not typical in 
my experience.  We play the adult version of co-ed travel, and when I had 
a player who drank before hand, the guys actually had me talk with him 
about it. It was bizarre - he kind of looked to be in slow-motion - not 
to mention smelling like a brewery ;^)

But, we - and many teams I know - do indeed keep up the liquid 
replenishment tradition, post-game - in freezing parking lots. Heck, we 
live up to our name so well, that pre-game brew is a really scarey 
thought ;^)

>  It'd be a drag to get injured in a recreational game and then not be able 
to play.
The guy we had being tanked pre-game didn't seem to be too aware of that 
possibility. Maybe he thought he was so relaxed he'd never get hurt. Oh 
well.

happy holidays and good skatin' to everyone,

Very well put. A lot of house leagues are less, ummm, strict, about 
up-holding any kind of suspensions, etc - until something happens, then 
it becomes very strict. A lot of folks I know playing house, and when I 
did as well, were guys (for the most part) who had either already played 
at some competitive level, and this was the fun, I don't care skate, or 
the opposite - inexperienced, and didn't want to actually play more 
disciplined, with practice, etc. 

I've found that as the levels go up in skill, there is more 
quasi-checking allowed - under the guise of non-check - irrespective of 
house or "travel" league. My boyfriend plays goal in AA/Advanced, and 
those games are really check hockey for the most part - and consistent, 
and no one expects not to be roughly handled. On the other hand, when he 
skates out with our "B" team - he does rack up some PIMs with some 
intensive "contact" - which isn't really a check, but close. 

Other thing to watch out for - less skilled players on the same ice with 
skilled players. In adults, the sticks start swinging - lots of falling 
down as people get out-skated or stripped, and those feeble hooks and 
more serious slashes are flying to make-up for the lack of skill.

have fun everybody.
