Atlanta Street Hockey welcomes anyone and everyone to give hockey a test run. A pick up game of street hockey has been ongoing since the mid 1990s somewhere in the east of downtown Atlanta parks in some fashion.

Check out AtlantaStreetHockey.com for more history and information and see below for more details on this passion project.

Sometime around the pandemic of 2020, I became the de facto commissioner of said Atlanta Street Hockey. It probably started with Paul T and I collaborated to build the website. Then evolved as alderman Steve T quite for the umpteenth time. This experience has generated some of the deepest friendships I know and surrounded me with a great group of people.

Goals: 2

(one was on my own net, the other on PK).

(lost one appearance as a player and had to choose between my piano recital or the championship game… what do you think an 8 year old would choose? Lost another appearance as the U14G coach)
