Get your St. Patrick’s Day drinking in on Saturday night folks. March 17th marks the official beginning of the BTSH season with our traditional free agent scrimmage.

If you’re a player looking for a team, come on down and scrimmage at Tompkins Square Park from Noon to 6 pm. Make sure you wear a red shirt so Captains know you’re looking for a team. And if you’re a Captain looking to fill a few holes in your roster, make sure you get there early to check out the talent.

We’ll have goalies all day (You know who you are. Stay in touch with Hector for updates).

League commissioner and scarp timber baron Tim Brown will also be cleaning out the bucket of sticks at ACE bar. You will only have this week and next week to reclaim any property you left at ACE before Tim donates it to needy hockey orphans (And come on people, if you’ve been letting the bartenders at ACE hold on to your stinky gloves since last October, it’s time to step up and own your funk!).

So come on out and meet some new hockey buddies this Sunday! Good luck to all the Captains and free agents as they look to assemble the winning roster for what is sure to be BTSH’s most competitive (and fun) season ever
