The Days of Puck-Sized Audiences
The Days of Puck-Sized Audiences
Because the games rile up players’ adrenaline so close to bedtime, it’s hard to wind down afterward, Henkart said. “It’s difficult to get to sleep before 2 a.m. on a game night.”
While the league draws a puck-sized audience — mostly wives and girlfriends, and that only since the games moved indoors — its long-time adherents, though gray at the temple, are rink rats for life. Ginns still puts up flyers at the start of every new season, even though “it’s a losing battle — they get pulled down and the bulletin boards get swept clean.” He says the league will soon have a Web page at the R&W site.
