I wanted to give you guys an update of our league here in the DC area, the MABLL.
This is our 4th session is our new arena, The Box in Chantilly, Virginia. Our old arena closed on us at the end of the summer of 2006. We were left scrambling and went to Dulles SportsPlex for 1 season. This was a big rink at 180 x 95 but the walls, sportcourt (its an inline rink) were blue and our goalies couldn't see the ball. We then found our new place and its all white floor, walls, etc and we use an orange ball so it works well. 105 x 85 is the size with nice, new hockey boards and full size benches. We love it.
Our league has continued to grow but we have maintained 8 teams in our Open Division (18+) but added a 2 team, open play format Masters Divison (35+). Some big names are playing with us now including Christian Cook and Todd Rassas from Team USA as well as other MLL guys Joey Ketserman, Chris Gill and many other players with great experience.
We have started to put all of our games online at www.revver.com (search mabll) and thats been great because we all love to see ourselves play. Our local Cable Channel has asked to televise some of our games. That's pretty cool.
Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that we do have box here in the DC area. Check out the videos and constructive feedback is always welcome. We plan to take a team to Prague this year as well as host the US Box Championships again in Summer 2007. There has been some talk of the Warriors cup as well...
That's it...
