2026 Schedule of Events
Indoor Workouts are currently in progress at the Northeast Racquet Club every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM until noon. If the weather magically turns nice we will move outdoors to Community Park in Middletown.
We will need to start working on the 2026 team draft at the end of March in order to have jerseys ready for opening day.
We expect to announce the results of the 2026 player draft on April 23rd. Reserve the date.
Each team will have 2 practice games on either Monday April 27th, or Thuesday April 28th and Thursday April 30th. We will have one game on Monday the 27th because we have an uneven number of teams this season.
Opening Day will be May 5th.
We will have 11 teams with the new team being named the Hot Shots and managed by Tony Baccari. Dick Tosti will manage the Classics replaceing Eric Gottlieb and Jack ZUpan will resume control of the Panthers.
There willbe a 2 week break around the fourth of July.
We will begin indoor workouts Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10AM to noon at the Northeast Racquet Club located at 9389 Krewstown Rd, Philadelphia PA 19115. The club is at the corner of Krewstown and Grant Avenues. Friday morning I attempted to put together a test run of the facility with players whose opinions I respected. They couldn't be there so instead I had to use Bill Krieger, Tom Delaney and Ron Mangini. The session went very well.
We will be playing in a roller hockey rink with a floor similar to that at PRAC. Sneakers or running shoes will be the appropriate footwear. The rink is 80 feet wide and 145 feet long. The lighting is very good.
There are a couple of things you need to know. In order to cover the cost of using the facility we will be collecting $10 per session per participant. The facility will need to have a waiver on file in case you are injured while playing. You can print a pdf of the waiver below or sign one at the front desk on your first visit. You also will need to check in at the front desk for each visit.
The facility accepts silver sneakers. If you have silver sneakers ,you can include your silver sneakers number on the waiver and get a free membership. The facility is huge!
