Hockey Boston Area

[GH_ID 0]

Hello Boston friends,

I'm starting an internship this next january in the Boston area, more precisely in Lawrence, and I'm looking for places I could play pick-up or join a rec team for the winter.

Keep me posted!

I'm not all that great of help north of the city, but I'd say Chelmsford/Lowell/Methuen/Andover are gonna be your best bets. If you ever travel south of Boston shoot me a PM, we skate all the time during the week. Keep your head up in Lawrence if you know what I mean

haha, lawrence is the GHETTO. But the valley forum should have stick practices and open ice every so often.

Join the Mass Skaters group on Yahoo

Lots of posts about pickups, spots on teams, etc.

Mass Skaters is a good suggestion. You should also check the hockey offerings in southern NH, which is just a bit farther north on Route 93.

Thanks guys, that's a good start. I don't want specifically to play in Lawrence, all of the Boston area will be fine! I'll check out Mass skaters!

They usually run a league, and have early morning stick and puck pickup games at the Salem NH icecenter.

8-80, blind, crippled or crazy, we got a spot for you! Mon morning pickup at Skate 3, Tyngsboro, tues morning at Skate 3 (free coffee and donuts) or Wed at noon. Your choice! If that don't trip your trigger, we have so much hockey in our area. If you are a ringer, PM me. :lol:

Nevertheless, while in Lawrence you GOT to go to Lawton's for a Hot dog, got to go to Napoli or Tripoli for Pizza and desert, and to Cedar Crest for Cutlets and spaghetti!

Lawrence has some pretty good places to eat. Yokohama steak house is good for japanese food. Sal's is good for Italian.

The down side is you'd have to skate on Skate 3 ice.

I can spit on the Neponset bridge from my back yard.... haha. I haven't been to QYA in over a year. Last time I went it was $5 a day for drop in from 10:30am-12:30pm..... every 3 drops ins, your 4th was free.

Aren't you guys exagerating with the ghetto stuff? My internship is with a large multinational corporation that you all know and would be surprised it was in the ghetto lol. But oh well we'll have to see! I'm definetly not changing internships!

There is an article today in the Boston Globe, which gives you a view of Lawrence's underside.

[tommym96 0]

there are plenty of good people in Lawrence but I wouldn't ever call it a nice area

[biff44 0]

Lawrence has, like many big cities, good areas and bad areas. In general, anything south of the merrimack river is perfectly safe. You could even go a 5 or so blocks north of the merrimack too. There are some areas, maybe around 15 blocks north of the river where you do not go. The valley forum, which is on the southern edge of lawrence, is perfectly safe.

Would North Andover be better? Or is it more convenient to go dowtown Boston and pay the high price?

[tommym96 0]

North Andover is a really nice town. Either will be fine for hockey.. I think everyone was just letting you know that Lawrence has some really tough neighborhoods.

I just got an email from Mass Skaters for a league in Haverhill, which is very close to Lawrence.

Subject: [mass_skaters] Mens League in Haverhill

I run a small mens league in Haverhill at the Veterans Rink.

I currently have 4 teams. We start a second season in January.

We are looking for teams or individuals to play. I would say

that it's an A/B/C league. We have a mix of all.

Send me an email if you are interested...

I am a weener expert, trust him when he tells you to visit Lawton's! Make sure to pack heat in Law-town though and if you drive a Honda, consider it stolen.

Off topic, but when are we having a New England MSH skate? I'd love to get together and do one sometime.
