Tonight is opening night for a hockey team in the DC area. Not the Capitals, the Washington Wolves Adult Men's B League team out at the Kettler Capitals Ice Plex.

I skated this past summer on all free-agent team that was put together by the K-Plex staff, and it was a lot of fun. So much so, that I decided to try to get a team started out there myself. I've been playing hockey a long time, and it seems like we've got a good group of guys together here. Luckily, I was able to pick up six former ACHA players, including 5 from Richmond and 1 from Johns Hopkins. On top of that, I added about seven guys from this summer's "Caps Blue" free agent team - essentially the core of the team that showed up every night. We plugged in a few more guys who were friends of guys on the team, and we're all set to go.

So, we have a 20 game season running tonight through February, plus playoffs, assuming we make them. Through the Wolves website (link at right), I'm going to keep a running count of our stats and record. I'll also try to throw a few blog entries in about how the team did.

So, hockey season is upon us. Sharpen those skates, and lets get on the ice.
