The last posts on this topic are a bit old so figured I’d ask again. Just moved to Houston and would like to start playing adult hockey as a hobby/means of staying in shape/socializing. I played my entire childhood including a couple years of AAA in my high school years but haven’t touched a hockey stick in about five years. I’ve tried to look for some info online but a lot of the rink websites don’t seem very up to date or informative. Seems like there are a couple of leagues around though.
For starters, are there stick and puck sessions at any of the rinks? I’m not too worried about skating coming back to me as I’ve skated a couple times in the past few years but I’m very worried about my hands. I definitely feel like I need some time to get myself back into it.
Next, any suggestions on how I can get more information on the adult leagues in the Houston area? Additionally, what is the quality of play/culture like? I know adult league usually goes from Novice -> C -> B -> A but the corresponding quality really varies depending on location. B in Minnesota might be A in Florida for example. How does one get involved joining a league/team? Are there tryouts? Do you need to know somebody? If I realize I’m rustier or in better shape than I thought, is it easy to move up or down levels? Are the leagues at one rink better than the leagues at another?
Really just looking for any info to help me figure out how to get back into playing hockey here in Houston as it is something I’ve started to miss. Appreciate the answers!
