The second free-agent scrimmage will take place this Sunday (March 30th) at 1:30 p.m. Please note that this is a change in time from what was initially schedule. The action will occur at Tompkins Square Park on the corner of 10th Street and Avenue A. Please try to arrive at least 15 minutes early for the pre-game check-in.
If you have not already signed up as a free agent, use this form to join the list!
We are asking everyone to bring one dark shirt and one white shirt. The weather forecast suggests it will be sunny and 57°F (14°C), so keep that in mind when choosing clothing you wish to play in. Please bring equipment appropriate for ball hockey — A hockey stick and athletic shoes are required, gloves are recommended, and face protection/helmets or shin pads are optional. If you need to borrow a stick, someone may be able to lend one at the courts but we can’t make any promises.
Upon arriving, you should find where the Commissioners are stationed – ask for Adam, Doug, Cherie, or Tarnow and check the middle area of the courts – so we can confirm your registration and hand you a red wristband. We will also need some help setting up the courts. After that occurs, we will divide everyone into scrimmage teams and go over some rules.
As usual, league members are welcome to play in the scrimmage. We only ask that you also bring one dark shirt and one white shirt.
We expect to be done by 4 pm. After the scrimmage, some league members will walk over to Ace Bar (5th St between Avenues A and B). If you feel inclined, come join us to hang out and socialize with fellow hockey players!
We have an FAQ page that provides more info on BTSH. If you have any remaining questions about Sunday’s scrimmage or the league in general, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help!
We look forward to meeting many of you on Sunday!
