I know I have looked into rinks there are some places that have used rinks you can get a little cheaper then buying new.. but main this is finding a building to put it in.. but yea if we could pull together cash doe that it would be SO NICE!!.. I think when playing in Denver we paid like 4 or 500 a team.. and let me tell you there were alot of teams.. it was big they were making BANK...

Where is Billy Balloos when we need it most?

(To Non-Oklahomans: Billy Balloos was a roller rink/restaurant built for the Oklahoma Coyotes Roller Hockey Team in the 90's)

DO you really need "boards" to play a friendly OKC hockey pick up game? Im sure we could rent Southskate in SWOKC or somewhere else after hours or something and play a game or 2 ..
