We may still need a few player for the tournament so give me a call and hook you up.
I'd like to take a second to thank everyone in our Adult Hockey League. I'm proud to say we have the lowest penalty minutes of any Adult League in San Diego and the most teams of any rink. Lets keep playing hard and having fun.
For those of you who want a little more practice, we're adding a stick time on Saturdays 4:10pm-5:30pm in addition to the 4:10pm stick time on Monday. Both these times will go from now until the end of August. How about some hockey strategy and skill development? Come on out to my Adult Skills Clinic every Tuesday at 6:50pm.

The Guys of Friday Night Live!

Introducing

Coach Adam Hout, our newest member to our coaching team!!!

Growing up in Orange County, I began skating on rollerblades out in front of my house playing street hockey with friends. It wasn’t until I was ten that I decided to pursue ice hockey. After a couple years of travel hockey and hard work, I realized I wanted to progress and develop into a stronger player. When I was sixteen, our team—The California Wave—won the National Championship. After that I played one season for the LA Jr Kings and then moved up to British Colombia, Canada to play for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs in the BCHL. Being drafted 3^rd overall in the USHL, I also spent time in Kearney, Nebraska playing for the Tri City Storm. I now study Business at Point Loma Nazarene University and coach aspiring hockey players of any age or skill level.
