Roller Hockey in Brooklyn
When I was kid, every boy went to play hockey. Before there were inline skates, there was regular roller skates. It was fun just to watch the boys play.
Fort Hamilton Roller Hockey League – hockey on inline skates. Cement rink at 5200 Fort Hamilton Parkway. The League has from Pee Wee and up. I am not sure if the league is still running for kids as the website hasn’t been updated, but their Facebook was updated in the Spring. The site says to call about classes and clinics available for kids. 718-435-7342
