UPDATE / NEW IDEA: Japers' vs. Broad Street Hockey + Prospects Game?

I would pay money to see this. DO IT.

I’d play in a heartbeat work schedule permitting.

The only wrinkle would be finding an inline rink between DC and Philly. While there are several around Philly (Feasterville, Marple, NE Raquet Club, Flyers’ Skate Zone) and a few in the DC Metro area (The Box, Dulles Sportsplex, and Capital Clubhouse) there really isn’t much in the way of inline rinks in between.

I’d skate in a heartbeat. I have a buddy in MD that plays for Tricerat. I could ask him about rinks in the area, since that’d be a decent halfway point. That said, I think The Box is awesome, so there.

If I can find some pads, count me in. I haven’t played in a while, and I’m not great, but to get a reason to get on skates again…yeah.

I’d be down for it as well, but the real men play ice hockey round these parts, partner.

I lack roller skates and also a desire to play roller hockey.

I’m a much better ice player than I am roller hockey

but as for a venue, how about

http://www.freestatesports.com/

its 10 minutes north of baltimore. Should be middle ground for all involved.

Great idea but count me in the ice hockey only crowd. Haven’t rollerbladed since HS and I’m sure I’d be terrible.

I’d do this. I’m an inline goalie at heart so that bodes well for me. As others have said though almost all of our players are ice only.

I’d play but living in St. Mary’s County, MD anywhere between Philly and DC is a big hike.

I’m in. My wheels are all for rough-service outdoor, but I can switch them out if we’re playing on a sportcourt. Just let me know and I’ll get some fellas to roll through (as long as it’s not on a weekend I’m in China or in a wedding).

…I’m in (depending on schedule). Since I’m a third-party combatant, I’ll wear whatever colors need an extra skater. It’d be particularly tough to wear orange, but I can put my personal feelings aside for a day if BSH needs a guy.

Freestate up in White Marsh is probably your best bet. It’s an hour and a half from Philly and about an hour from D.C.

F&B, here’s hoping you passed the bar exam. I still have no idea how I passed it earlier this year, but no complaints. Congrats on the marriage to Mrs. F&B. Guess that means opposing-team distractions are no longer possible, eh?

I’m in HS and I do play roller hockey often, but i’m semi new to the sport. I"ll stand in front of the net or i can go in goal (i’ve got street pads), wherever i’m needed, i just hate philly.

We seem to have enough support for this to get it done. Sometime next week I’ll post a list of dates for people from both teams to pick from.

Does anyone on here know of any rinks that are preferably public and free to use that would be a good distance for both teams to travel? (i.e. not too close to one or the other)

Note: The post will probably be on BSH, so I’ll post a link over here.
