Gaz6002 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Wondering how many members used to play? I played for Basingstoke Bison from 1994 to 2002 through all the age groups, beginning in under 12s. I played roller hockey for Team Demolition, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 LOL good point, but I could never go out with a hockey player. I know how bad they smell! I dunno why, but for some reason hockey attracts some of the best looking females. Very strange unexpected correlation. They smelt fantastic with me by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Did anyone else dread opening their kit bag after putting your kit away after a match lol. I actually used to air mine out after matches and training, and still couldn't shift the smell. Luckily, I learnt to love it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I plan on getting into playing, though I am only just learning to skate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Would have loved to play (love watching it, and quite enjoyed thumping people when I played rugby), but growing up in a warm country didn't really help with the whole skating thing. Of course, now I'm spending half my life (it seems) in Finland I'm getting slowly more obsessed by skating and hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I played from 1990-1999 for Ayr then Kilmarnock but back playing again now after 13yrs being off the ice. Only stopped because i moved away with work and southern Ireland dont have any ice rinks at all!! I wasnt amused but back home now and back at and have to say i love it.
