Locations of NYC Roller Hockey League and Pick-Up Games
http://www.tiregroove.com/jerseys/play.htm
http://www.skatecity.com/nyc/clubs/hockey.html
While somewhat out of date these two websites provide information about rinks and playgrounds throughout New York City where you can find leagues and pick-up games of roller hockey. Some of the leagues and websites listed no longer exist but these are still two great places to find information about joining a team or finding a pick-up game if you've been away from the sport for a while or just moved to New York City.

The New York City Rollersports Coalition
http://nycrollersports.com/wp/?page_id=2
The New York City Rollersports Coalition is a collection of amateur New York City athletes with common facility needs, bound together to encourage and support development of an indoor roller skating rink for the people of New York. The Coalition’s primary goal is to encourage and initiate development of a dedicated indoor rollersports facility convenient to midtown Manhattan and major mass transit options. Ideally, this facility would serve as a permanent practice home for a variety of established community groups, and would be large enough to host sporting events for 2,000-5,000 spectators. The facility would serve as the focal point of roller sport athletics in the tri-state area. It would be a center for serious and casual amateur leagues, youth training, individual exercise, and recreational skate dancing, 12 months a year. With a flexible design, it could host world-class speed skating, roller hockey, roller derby, skateboarding or skate dance events and exhibitions. Venue television programming rights and live internet content streaming rights could be sold to local sports cable networks or internet portals. The groups composing the New York City Rollersports Coalition are established leagues and associations with long track records of supplying exciting competitive action and skating opportunities to its members and audiences. These groups provide an immediate built-in customer base for such a facility. Combined, they can provide over fifty hours a week of paid tenancy. They represent hundreds of dedicated regular participants — and they also bring with them throngs of fans and an existing body of sponsors.

The Yorkville Youth Athletic Association
http://www.yyaa.org
The Yorkville Youth Athletic Association is a well run, very organized community organization that offers basketball, baseball, flag football, tennis and roller hockey programs to K-12 boys and girls from the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Their teams are coached by volunteer parents. They offer coaching clinics, directors meetings, participate in Little League Day at Yankee Stadium and they have an annual Memorial Weekend Picnic. Their wonderful awards ceremonies have featured Willis Reed, Frank McGuire, Wayne Gretzsky, Bob Lanier, Ted Lilly and Will Peterson as guest speakers. They also run the Yorkville Theatre Ensemble which gives students the opportunity to explore all aspects of theatre performance. Through class work, rehearsals and performance the members of each company develop skills in acting, singing and dancing. The theatre program was begun for those who were not only interested in a sports experience, but also in another arena that adds the same benefits we gain from sports – being a member of a team which will work together on a common goal. |
