cassius 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2006 Does anyone have a hard time making it to the rink on a regular basis? I'm a beginner and i'm looking to get better, but its just rough to get to the rink.I live in a suburb of Pittsburgh and there is no rink in my town, so its a 30 minute drive just to get to stick/puck. With gas prices at almost $3 a gallon - that further complicates mattersIf I had a rink in my town I would go multiple times per week, but I find myself only going to the rink every once or two weeks.

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted July 8, 2006 I've got 2 within about 30 mins from me in Tampa, FL. I go to the one that is farther because the ice is nicer. Try to carpool, it's cheaper :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
