My buddys making shinny pickup Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, + Thursday-- At the Ice Gardens (YORK U) 1100 P.M probably til whenever they kick people off the ice- (usually 2 hours). 15 $. Probably intermediate level -- but dont know for sure as wont know whos gonna show. Hes looking to spread the word so i figured i would post here. He actually teamed up with hockey toronto - so it should be interesting.

Says on the link that it is Saturday night's as well? Sounds good. Keep us informed, I'll certainly drop by a few times if this actually has a few people show up.

If anyone makes it out this week let me know what the turnout is like, its sort of a long drive for me, but I'll go for sure if there isnt too many/too few guys.

I usually go to Icelands in Mississauga a few times a week, they have shinny there from 12:00 - 2:00pm everyday, usually lasts longer than that. Costs only $7.50 but you can usually get away without paying cause they aren't too strict.

Another sweet place is University of Guelph (I assume most Universities have some kind of shinny available), where they have shinny everyday during the week throughout the school year, 2 hours for only $3. Fairly high quality as well.

I'm not 100% sure about Icelands on the weekends...I heard a rumor that it was on weekends as well...I'll try and check it out when I'm there tommorow.

how much$$

[mrusse01 0]

$7.50, but like I said, you don't really have to pay

Usually with things like that, if enough people "really don't have to pay" then the opportunity usually goes away. So, as a general rule, always pay when you play, it helps the community of hockey lovers out by keeping drop in and shinny programs up and running. Just a friendly reminder.

Ya i went 3 times in the last 2 months --- location has changed to the Pavilion (Dufferin - just north of Center Street) ice is way better then the ice gardens. Also dont think its every night anymore -- think its 3-4 times a week. When i went there were usuall about 15-18 people show up. The hockey is mostly begginer type -- shinny type hockey--- tad slow. Still --- anytime u can get out on the ice and play hockey is fun for me.
