It was a sport that touched many of our lives about 10 years ago in Malaysia when it all started and died about 6 years ago due to politics and managers taking over the game instead of players having fun. Those who were there at the arena PJ would know it. Then Skateline came along a year ago which me, Craig and Ramesh found out only in December and thought to give it a shot. Well we became instructors after going through some examination some sort like driving test.
Then there was a forum on the skateline website which has a forum on in-line hockey in Malaysia. Hmmm… we thought what the hell?... give it a shot. There were a lot of people writing on the forum day in and day out so we decided to pop by. Guess what? 3 players only. Oh my god! What a joke. But I guess a lot of dedication and commitment got more and more people interested and involved. Thanks to the players who helped build this sport back.
Later after the hockey players grew larger from 3 to 6 to 9 to 14, that’s when Tuesday night hockey came along. Suggested by Izwan. The one who lives in that neighborhood that knows the light switches. Haha! On the 27th April 2006, it was the first time we played on Tuesday with lights on and a large space to play. Was like the good old days.
The place we play is near Atria shopping complex, if you know where the Projet Petrol Station, pass it you’ll come to a traffic light. Turn left and on the 1st junction you will see a 2 tier tennis court with high fencing. That’s our playground people.
We play on Sunday mornings from 9.30am to 12noon and Tuesday nights from 9pm to 11pm.
Well let’s keep our wheels rolling and our sticks slashing and together who knows? Things may happen. As for most of us, mission complete.. Bringing back the DEAD!
