[oldschool1]

[BkHdTpShlf]

Boston????

[oldschool1]

I hear ya darrell, who is on that team? Evryone playing on that level played last nite... in boston. lol.

[Mlrhnorthfan]

Thats why i wanted to see the rosters....

that summer event, the boston team had maybe one or two guys from boston....

could it be that the MLRH threw together some teams and just named them based on the proposed cities?

[DblJ44]

Most of the "Boston" team from this summer was from North Jersey, The "Chicago" team was mostly Philly/Harrisburg guys.

i think the chicago team was actually a group of guys that play as the Mullisia in tourneys here in chicago. And are based out of palatine illinois. I could be wrong.

The guys who filled in for the Boston team that were from Jersey were not even supposed to play in that division, they went down just to play in the co-ed division.

Newell,
The Chicago Roller Snakes from the summer Euro Cup event were all players from the Philly area with a myself from York, PA area, and a couple others from the DC and Williamsburg, VA area.

The guys up at the even this past weekend... different story.

Frank frank, thanks for clearin that up, I know I was speaking to some guys out here and they were talkin about how they had played. Funny though, that the "chicago" roller snakes aren't from anywhere near chicago. Ha ha,, I am still trying to figure out the mlrh. It is all very confusing.

Yeah, how will that work out this summer? Will the Chicago team play out of Philly where most of their players are from, or is it gonna be Chicago? I think they are trying to come off bigger than they really are, a marketing scheme of sorts. What about this Floria team? Are they really out of Florida or will it be a bunch or guys from New York and Massachusetts? Cause I'm telling ya, guys from Manhattan are not going to want to take the road trip down south for their HOME games. Trying to look bigger and better than they are, it looks better than saying you have six teams in the Northeast (Boston and New York). Saying you have teams throughout the country and that they travel, that's a good way to market the league.

Hey AJ,
I completely understand your point. And I know I'm gonna open up a whole new can of worms here, but here I go...

The players that play on the various NHL teams... are they all from their team's city? Not really. Let's not turn this into a debate about "real pro hockey" vs this stuff. I'm just saying if a city/team wants to pick up players from other regions to play for them, I don't see the difference. Most of us guys are just happy to play... we really don't care what you call us or what city we're supposedly from. You can call us the Anchorage Flamingos and we're probably still gonna play even if we're from Missouri or Alabama or Pennsylvania. Ya know?

I understand that those teams at these events are kind of expected to be from the region the team is "from", but lets be honest... that's not gonna happen, especially with PIHA and AIHL going on right now. Maybe over the summer they'll have better odds with that, but who knows.

MLRH is a check roller hockey league... the only of it's kind right now. It's a change of pace from the non-check stuff. It's breath of fresh air to me... I look foward to skating in an event at some point here.

Just my 2cents...
