habookus 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 A friend of mine is going to be moving from Montreal to North Carolina, in the Raleigh area I believe, and he wants to know where there is ice, and if there's pick-up hockey any places. Basically any information about available hockey, because he loves to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spreedizzle 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 There's some good hockey in and around Raleigh. You have the Cary Ice House, and then then ice arena just on the outside of the loop around Raleigh. Both are nice facilities with pick-up, house leagues, and all the usuals.He can go to www.usahockey.com and on the right there is a hockey finder tab. Might help him locate exactly what is closest to him. Best of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobMcRobertson 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I live about 3 hours from Raleigh. A buddy of mine I play with is from there, his brother works at a rink there. He goes down everynow and then and tells me how they go from rink to rink all day hitting pick ups and puck shoots. He says it's actually pretty big, especially since the Canes won the cup it has grown quite a bit. I'll ask him for some specific rinks. Your pal should have plenty to do from what I have heard.

Cheesehead 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 Just curious, what is the name of the rink At Wake Forrest? I clicked on the Factory Ice House link, but i don't remember the rink having a pro shop. The rink that I'm talking about is very close to the Wake Forrest basketball and football stadiums (parking lots separate them). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
