I am looking for opinions here.
My new little arena is really, very super little. An inline hockey rink, 36' long, by 24' wide...that's about the average size of a smallish backyard ice rink up north.
We play 3v3, wooden pond-hockey-like goal, take the puck into the back zone each new possession...
Get this: I am only paying $1,000 a month to sub-lease the space, so I can charge players $19.95 per month. Hopefully, with this as a financial baseline, I can keep this going for years.
I have come to really like the game this way. Is it real hockey? no. Is it real inline hockey? not even...but it is hockey play, hockey skills, hockey creativity, what more do you want?
So that's my personal "justification," but I am very interested in others' experiences with small rink games...lemme know what you think.
