Looking for a game? For roughly 14 years, a group of relative strangers has met to play street hockey here -- on the 1600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, surrounded by manicured trees and box hedges and just a few yards away from the most recognizable address and home in the United States. The gathering of 20-somethings and middle-aged family men includes electricians, lobbyists, software developers, lawyers and physical therapists.

What a GREAT article! Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed reading it. Brings back memories of the mid 90's here in my city when inline hockey first took off here. There were pick up games like this in every neighborhood subdivision and empty parking lot in town.
