Hi,

Moved to Zurich a year ago, looking for a Hockey Team to play.

Played hockey in Montreal, Canada. Looking for a Hockey league for 30+.

If you have information, would be glad to have.

Thx

I play pick-up (non-contact) with who ever shows up each weekend (and all this week) at Heuried.

Not quite 30+, but a few players fall in that catagory (not me for another half year)

What do they call 'pick up' hockey here.. In german? I want to call up some rinks to ask, but I dont want to ask when they play 'pick up'.. From what I understand, most rinks are down in the summer.. if this is the case.. I might go crazy this summer..
Im playing in a league now, but I prefer pick up matches.. unfortunately zurich is too far to travel to play hockey, im near Chur.

'Chneble' is the term here for pick-up hockey

Search with the word Plausch, meaning fun...
Plausch Liga / Fun League
Plausch Mannschaft / Fun Team
there should be tons around your area!

I will be playing at Hurried tonight.

I do play in a plausch liga, I also played 3 liga .. but Im wondering about pickup hockey.. I really cant believe that all the rinks close for the summer here.. I thought this was a 'hockey culture'.. HA! Im from Florida and we have way more hockey year-round than this...

@Chemie, I asked a teammate who has played here his entire life about 'Chneble' and he had no idea what that was.. This was in Chur, a large city...

Seriously? They must be smoking the crack :P It's a very standard term here. It's how the rinks in Zurich define the pick up on their websites (Heuried, Dolder etc.)

As for pickup hockey in the summer, I usually like to make my way to Wetzikon once in a while on saturdays for Chneble

Usually good times---they'll that Bündner teammate of yours to work on his lingo :P Perhaps he only ever played organized Ice hockey, in which he would not come across the term. Odd either way.
