even have some hockey skaters in our group who are involved in some great local leagues. We skate a
different area every weekend (some night skates), as well as host trips to Tampa and St. Pete. We are

Type of Skating: Rollerhockey, all levels (adults)
Description: Skate Inn East (now called Skate World), on 2563 Capital Circle NE (near the
Scan Haus) twice a week at Tuesday/Thursday 10:00-1:00. The amateur league
(which will be affiliated with USA Inline Hockey League, I think) will be
starting this fall (1996), but the ranks of the usual folks were recently raided
by FSU starting up a team, so they are trying to build membership for the
fall.
There is a $22 annual membership that provides insurance. It's optional, but
it gives you a $2 discount off of the $7 pick-up game fee. You can also pay
$45 at the beginning of each month (for the game fees). It is also co-ed
and they do have some women playing.
Comments:
- If you come play, make sure to bring a white and dark jersey or shirt. Teams
are assigned from the sign-up list from each night, so you won't know which
color you'll be until right before game time.
