Quincy Pickup Street Hockey

We play ball hockey on Saturday afternoons, year-round. Since April 2014. It's a free, pickup game. See the games on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUboX_jaPjyM_1Mr4MYBj2w

Who can play:  Adults only, 21+ (yes, we have 30's-40's-50's and up). We welcome average skilled players and people who've never played before. The goal is to have a good time, socialize, and have a good workout.

What's the commitment:  It's a pickup game. There's no commitment.

How the teams are set up each week: We throw the sticks into center rink and randomly make up two teams.

How long are the games: Games are to 7, win by 2. We re-make the teams after each game. We typically play three to four games each week, for about 2.5 hours. But leave when you want.

What to wear/bring: Please bring your sneakers (not roller blades), a stick, and water (lots). Also two shirts: a white one and a dark one.

Game time: We follow daylight savings time. 3 pm from March to November, 2 PM from November to March. Come late or leave early, whatever works for you.
