Looking for roller league in Central TX to join.

[My96z]

I am about a week out from coming home from Iraq and me and some buddiers are interested in joining a roller hockey league in Central Texas, ie. Austin, Round Rock, Temple area but the closer to Ft.Hood the better. I have done some internet searching but nothing has came up. We used to play in the past but we are pretty rusty so some kind of beginner league would be great. We are looking for somthing that we can enter our own team into.

Any info or help you guys have would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Jeff

Here is a link to the rink in Round Rock. I know they have adult hockey leagues. I know there used to be a skating rink in Killeen that had hockey but I don't remember the name of it or if it is still open.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help John! I havent ever played for a league before, or any organized roller hockey. Some friends of mine back where I am from in Michigan had entered thier own team in a league, thats what me and my buddies are hoping to find. I see that there is a draft there at RRR and you cant put your own team together.

When I get back I can travel to the different rinks and see whats going on. I just figured I would try to get a jump start on everything via the internet.

Thank you again for your help and time,
Jeff

I think the roller rink closest to Ft. Hood was called Skate World, but that was when I was still there. About 7 years ago. I don't know if they did hockey there or not. I always remembered it being a place for kids and families to just skate around and play games. But I think is was only 15-20 minutes out of Ft. Hood.

I'm also new to Killeen and want to play roller or ice. If you guys are looking for any more guys I'd jump at the chance.

I know of the place there in Copperas Cove called Skate World, I am not sure if they do hockey there or not. I am back here stateside now finally so I can start looking harder once I get time. I plan to drive to each of the local rinks and ask around.

Jim, I will keep you in mind.

Well so far it seems the closest league is in Round Rock near Austin. I have only a few more places to check locally but it isnt looking good. I just dont think I can make the drive that far on a regular basis...

If I cant find anything more local, I will be doing the drop in thing there at Round Rock when I have the time.

Still looking, havent forgot about you Jim.

Well no luck with the local rinks. Round Rock just wont work with my schedule.

Is there anyone that plays in tennis courts? Dying to play.

Jeff,

Try this link. http://pickuphockey.net/listvenues.html

Some of the rink info is old but it's a least a few more places to try.

Yes, I checked that out after you had sent it. Alot of that information seems to be at least 4 years old

You think you might be up for one late night of hockey in RR with another .mil guy on March 24th?

If you're going to try it once at RR might as well play with me so we can own.

Derek

[My96z]

Well I may have Basic Non-commishioned officer course to attent to during that time, we will see how the scheduleing pans out...

I havent played in years, I think I would be the ownee and not the owner lol

P.S What did you do in the Marines? I am a Scout in the 1st Cav here at Hood.

[WocesterWicked8]

I was a Primary Marksmanship Instructor and a member of the USMC Shooting Team. They actually paid me to shoot all day. Didn't realize how good I had it until I left and became a civilian again.

I got out shortly after I was promoted to SGT so I didn't attend the Marine Corps version of BNOC, I would imagine they have a decent schedule laid out for you guys. I'll shoot you an email the week I head out to remind you and see if you can make it.

[My96z]

Ahh a fellow shooter. I am one of my troops designated marksman. It was a great course and I had alot of fun with it in Iraq

Yes shoot me a e-mail and I will let you know how it looks for me.

Still looking. I am even down for some hockey in a tennis court or whatever.
