Re: Expat Hockey in Halifax?
Just back from the forum, it will have to the pitch of a lifetime... These leagues often get the crappiest ice-time - 11pm on a Friday/Saturday at Scotia 2 - no thanks... Oh and I fell over tonight and will be taking up a musical instrument after Xmas instead of skating!

Sounds like an excellent plan to me. I'll keep a look out for a suitably rubbish league! Playing pickup might be a better option too to begin with, although there are "instructional leagues" for learners advertised on the Halifax forum/RinkTime website. More research needed!

Hi again all - have yet to find a league, but pickup next winter seems like the way to go.
Also, for those new to the sport, Dalhousie are running a beginner/intermediate hockey camp for adults (it's "co-ed" too). $335 for around 22 hours of ice time.
It's run in two sections, teaching/skills after work during the week and then a supervised game each sunday:
Section 01: M/W 6:00-7:30pm, Sundays 4:30-600pm
Section 02: T/TH 6:00-7:30pm, Sundays 4:30-600pm
I've signed up - perhaps see a few of you there?
