Rock the Rink roller hockey rink grand opening, Saturday

The entire Coastside community is invited to lace up their skates and join us on Saturday afternoon, May 3, for a gala "Rock the Rink" grand opening celebration of the new roller hockey rink at Half Moon Bay High School.

Hosted by the Boys & Girls Club of the Coastside and the North Coast Hockey League, the event will feature live music (with local band "Flagged Down"), food, raffles, prizes for all kids, skills competitions, a Squirt exhibition game, and more! (And, since it’s the first Saturday in May, we’ll have a special Kentucky Roller Derby race!) It promises to be a totally fun afternoon for the entire community.

And if you enjoy Rock the Rink, kids 5-18 can always sign up for the 2008 NCHL roller hockey season, which begins Sunday, June 1 and runs through Aug. 3. You can sign up  ONLINE at www.coastsiderollerhockey.com http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?EVENT_ID=1553360&CHECKSSO=0 or you can click on this link for the 2008 Registration Form. http://www.coastsiderollerhockey.com/2008_NCHL_RegForm4.pdf (Or signup in person on Saturday, April 19 & 26 at Cameron’s, from 11am-2pm.)

After 6 long years of waiting, this new hockey rink provides Coastside kids with another great athletic facility on CUSD property. The rink is really amazing; it’s similar to the "Shark Tank" and it’ll offer a great experience for the children. (We’re also exploring adult programs with the HMB Recreation Division.)

Call today at 728-2255 for more details on Rock the Rink and the NCHL. Hope to see you there! www.coastsiderollerhockey.com
