SaveByRichter35 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 I miss the Rinx. My team plays exclusively at Superior now. Aside from the ice the place is such a dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree superior could totally use a facelift, but at the same time i kinda like the place, it has more of an old school feeling compared to say the rinx/dix hills, but i think dix hills has the nicest facility, and the rinx is pretty nice too. both feel a lot more modern than superior. also dont totally love the underground locker rooms, i personally hate going up and down those stairs in full gear.

Dix Hills is a dump in its own way. The facility is nice, yes. The newer part at least. The old rink is a dump and both sheets of ice are always awful. They need locks on the locker room, that place is constantly getting robbed. Rinx is basically Old Faithful. Average to above average facilities(for the area) and the ice is usually good all year. Superior does have its positives. The ice is always good there. By far the best ice around except for Northwell, which is fair since that is an NHL practice facility. The building is a dump though. It could probably win that Kraft NHL Hockeyville contest and it still wouldn't be enough. I agree the locker rooms being downstairs sucks but if you're lucky to get the JR room its a really nice room. Room 3, which is the room in the back of the downstairs that they made two rooms into one, is also not bad. Rooms 1 and 2 are too small for a mite team, forget beer leaguers. The Royals Room which is upstairs next to the ice is convenient but the bathroom is horrendous. If you don't shower before the Zamboni finishes cutting the ice then you're fucked for about 15-20 minutes while they suck all the hot water from the system to refill the zamboni. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeperton Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 On 12/31/2019 at 10:12 PM, Matt35 said: That’s right. It’s about 2/3 the size of a regular rink. No face offs, offensive team just clears the blue line for goals and goalie freezing the puck. It’s a different game but a lot of fun. That actually sounds like a ton of fun. They've tried doing 4v4 draft leagues on full sheets here and it's just...not fun as a goalie. Your 3v3 format sounds like a fun take on pick-up style hockey.

creasecollector Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I don't know about anyone else, but I don't really like 3on3 or 4on4. I played in a 3on3 and a 4on4 summer league for a year or two growing up in the offseason and didn't like it. I much prefer structure (or as much as possible when playing beer league) when I play, most of the time at least. The occasional drop-in session or something is fine and can be fun don't get me wrong, but give me 5 on 5 any day. I guess I'm just too conditional for a certain type of hockey I guess. Maybe I'm too stubborn and need to lighten up, haha. Edited January 4, 2020 by creasecollector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem my 4v4 league had was huge skill discrepancy between players and too much ice for slower people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Boiss Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I played a 3v3 tourney on a full sheet over the holidays, and it was the most fun I've ever had at a tournament. The games were only 16 minutes long (8 minute halves), with six player teams, so the games were fast-paced and over before everyone got completely bagged. Really great time.

It’s a ton of fun with the smaller ice surface. Lots of shots, they used to keep track, the most I had in a game was 75. A lot of odd man rushes, penalties are penalty shots, and you get to play the puck a lot too. I’ve got two empty netters so far and just missed another one a couple weeks ago. You just have to not beat yourself up over letting in goals, cause it happens.... a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpawtendy48 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 technically not an action photo but... here’s the penalty that was called on me a game ago. apparently the ref didn’t like that i dug the puck out of my net after a goal and swept it away so he had to skate farther to get it... he then also lied to my coach by saying he had warned me before, NEWS FLASH, he didn’t. on top of that, after every goal they made me get the puck out of the net instead of them usually getting it, which they do most of the time.. so naturally that was my response 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be mad but they can’t do anything because the puck is already where they’re going.

Some guys, especially in the beer leagues are legitimately crazy. I've seen refs suspended for manhandling players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
