Yeh man definitely bring your gear. I played while I was in A-pool and back again when I was there for advanced. The current league is the NWFHL over at the Pensacola civic center. There website is http://www.usahockey.com/nwfhl/
They are trying to form a new league though, the Emerald Coast Hockey League but I don't know if that happened yet. They also run pick up games in Biloxi, MS and Birmingham, AL on the weekends and the guys from Pensacola usually travel together. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you the guys email who organizes that.

Was there interest in the new league? I reffed a couple of the beer league games down here but stopped as soon as I learned there was a big political fight between the youth player's association (who also control the adult leagues) and the referees in the area.
Yeh there was a huge power hungry issue by those who ran it and those who just wanted to play hockey. There was a meeting this past Wednesday at the Civic Center for the ECHL. I gave some support for them because honestly the current NWFHL is a poorly organized league.
If you come to Corpus, there's a men's league here too. Corpus Christi Adult Hockey League
Thanks a lot, appreciate the heads up. It's good to know that hockey players don't quit even when they move to FL. I saw you're a Fordham '07 grad (foampositz), which means I may have missed playing against you by a year: I played Club at Union all four years, joining the Met League in the '07-'08 season. How's the level of play down there?
Some guys need double runners. I kid you not. Then there are some guys who are okay.
So I'm down here, and just registered for the Emerald Coast Ice Hockey League, over at the civic center.

B-League pickup this coming Monday (11 OCT 2010) at 6:30 and 7:45 and Wednesday (same times), with a tryout for the B-league on Friday. USA Hockey membership required, no-check, co-ed, all skill levels welcome. Season is 20 guaranteed games, running October to December, with games MWF 630-745-9. Cost is $250 (pretty good if the refereed games claim is true, and with two free skates and tryout).
This is the longest I've ever gone without touching ice and can't wait to get out there. Does anybody know of a decent pro shop? They advertise that skate sharpening is available at "Performance Machining" - doesn't sound like they have a BladeMaster there.
Thanks, and seeya out there.

I'm a referee in the area. The games are refereed. As far as getting your skates sharpened goes that performance machining is the only local place I know of. Haven't taken my skates there. I usually have them done by one of the teams when I'm skating a "pro" game, (SPHL is about equal to a good Jr B team back before everyone decided they could make money off of Jr hockey by having the players pay to play...) or send them back to Chicago to get profiled and what not. There is no hockey pro shop anywhere near Pensacola. If you need gear you will travel.
"Hey ENS why are you med down with a broken jaw for 3 months?" "Because I wore a half shield rather than a cage..."
Seriously dude? You're willing to jeopardize your flying career for a freaking beer league hockey game? I see way more injuries to guys wearing no or only 1/2 facial protection in adult beer league hockey than anywhere else. Why? Because you will be on the ice with guys who have only been skating for a couple years. They don't know to keep their sticks down, and even if they did know, they don't have the skill to do so. Guys can't control the puck. Even in the Pro leagues there are many guys who take sticks and pucks to the face. And they supposedly know what they are doing...
Why do you need to wear a halfie? You don't have to get your helmet off quick. There aren't any press taking pictures, and Vs or NBC won't be there to televise your face into a million homes in America and 10 million in Canada. Don't be an idiot, wear full facial protection... Unless you want you have your jaw wired shut and drink your food from a blender for 6 months...

Not to worry ... the guy is/was a spammer from Islamabad or Lahore (it shifted) -- decidedly NOT the USA -- and was putting up ANYTHING to get his (deleted) spam links on the website.
He's mort now ... just part of the AW's banninated-bodycount.
