SF
Quakes are Looking for Players for the Upcoming Summer Season
Unfortunately
our Oakland Silver B team moved to Thursday nights, the same night
that we play in San Francisco. With this along with losing some
regular season players, we are actively recruiting for the upcoming
summer season. We are looking for players with good character along
with a skill level more than a beginner to intermediate. If interested,
please contact us at quakes@sfquakes.com.
The Bay Area Earthquakes have TWO hockey teams.
• SFQuakes
- This team was founded in 1989 and is filled with players that
have been on it since then. The team plays at the Yerba
Buena Ice Center in San Francisco. They are in the Faultline
Adult Hockey League there and play in the "D" Division
(there are Div A to D). Some players have played all their life,
others only started a few years back. Turnover is low, camaraderie
is high, and the team plays hard. It's moderately competitive and
can get a bit rough (even though it is a no-check league).
• Oakland Silver Quakes
- The team began in the fall of 2005. The SilverQuakes
play in the Silver B division at the Oakland
Ice Center. This is a competitive league with mostly intermediate
and some advanced players.
What should you do to learn more and find out which
team is a good match for you?
•
Come Watch a Game - both teams play all year round
and the schedule are posted here on the site. There are usually
fans in the stands and teammates who are more than happy to talk
to you after a game. It's a great way to see the level of play and
talk to some of the players. The SF team usually goes out for drinks
at the LoneStar after their earlier games (always 8pm games and
sometimes after 9:30pm games). We'd love to have you join us for
drinks too.
• Come To A Practice
- practices are a great time to get both teams together on the ice.
We hold a few practices a year and invite all current players to
come, in addition to anyone who is thinking of joining a team (and
some other friends and players who want to get some ice time in
with a fun crew of folks). The practices are casual, no intimidating
at all, and all levels are present. We usually run some fundamental
drills, split up so groups can work on different things, and then
scrimmage at the end. Drinks in the parking lot are usually present
after. Practices are usually 10$ for non-Earthquakes. What a deal!
• Come Sub In A Game
- Sometimes players can't make it to games and we need
some folks to fill in. Being a sub on a team is a great way to start
to get to know the Earthquakes and get some ice time too. We can
keep you posted on when we need subs (sometimes very short notice)
so you can join us.
•
Join The Email List - A quick and easy way to be
kept up to date on what is going on with the Quakes - games, events,
practices, tournaments, and more. You can sign up by going to the
Contact Us page.
