Friday is hockey night in Virginia, which doesn't deserve any type of national hype, but it's definitely a good time for exercise and fun on inline skates. I was able to get a pair of inline skates in college so pick-up games on the unused tennis courts was a good time for social fun and good exercise. After college, this evolved into playing up at Potomac Inline group in Chantilly, Virginia. They recently built a very nice new rink with a lot of hard work from the players and other sources.
With gas prices came some changes and I found another good group to play with in Woodbridge, VA through the Prince William Hockey Club. The adult league is quite casual Some other mutual friends are playing there so Friday nights the fun begins in the co-ed league -- definitely a good time with a variety of skill levels.
Hockey is great exercise, burns a lot of calories, and allows the players to vent frustration on a small rubber (or plastic) puck. I don't have any skills, but we tend to fare better than the Bulgarian ladies team that lost 82-0 to the Slovak ladies squad for Olympics qualifying. I'm guessing that there was a goals for advantage to the scoring roster than resulted in the score being driven this high into the double digit range. Fortunately in Woodbridge, we're trying to keep it more fun.
