JR Boucicaut 3789 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 Looks like I may be moving here if everything works out I'll be in Marietta.Since I won't be in hockey anymore, I figure I might as well start playing full-time again. How are the leagues here?How are the shops (not that I'm looking to buy anything, but you know...) and which shop will allow me to do my own skates? (I'll eventually buy a portable but might need some for now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cougarscaptain87 12 Report post Posted September 6, 2008 just my opinion, i dont think ANY shop if going to let a large black man walk in and use the skate sharpener unless your reputation has traveled :P just messin with you, if they say no take the shank and just flash it. should change their minds.

PJLime 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2008 Wow. Mostly I lurk here, but I am moving to Atlanta, too (from St. Louis). I only play roller, though, and not all that well.I've been looking on the internet for leagues and rinks but can only find a couple of places out in the suburbs. I don't know where I will be living yet and I am interested in a local opinion.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted September 6, 2008 Check out "The Cooler". Ice and roller rink. 20-30 minute straight shot from Marietta (depending how you drive ;)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3789 Report post Posted September 6, 2008 It's not a straight shot from where I am at. I'm right off of 75. Marietta Ice Center is 5 min from my house, and Ice Forum at Kennesaw is by where I may be working at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be graduating with my Business degree in 1.5 years and I have been having trouble figuring out where I should be looking for internships/career after college. I like a lot of what I read on that site. I see there is a Ferguson located 3 miles from me, I may try to get an internship there sooner than later.

Spreedizzle 1 Report post Posted September 10, 2008 Yes yes.....we have many cute little monikers and acronyms. ;)Not here to promote my company, just trying to help out JR (and others that would like assistance) in a bind. I have said it to many members on here before....I never mind paying for excellent customer service. My potential abilities to help JR are my way of paying for an excellent service that he has provided me and many others that interact on MSH. I always help when I can those that help me.
