Are you ready for some…hockey?
Friday, September 29, 2006
Since the Baton Rouge Kingfish folded a few years ago, hockey’s profile has pretty much been on the down-low in our area code. But soldiering on is the Baton Rouge Youth Ice Hockey League, which is looking to fill its ranks with young athletes eager to try the decidedly northern sport.
“We offer the most unique sport in the south, and most of Baton Rouge does not know we exist,” says Jason Horcasitas, recruiting coordinator for the league.
Although ice hockey is overshadowed by other sports in Baton Rouge, Horcasitas is confident once young people strap on their skates, they’re in for a rewarding experience.
The league is hosting a free event at Leo’s Iceland, 1717 N. Airway Drive, at noon on Oct. 8. There will be free ice skating, plus hockey equipment and rules demonstrations. bryih.com
