I'm thinking I'm gonna be o.k. cuz I played inline hockey for a few years on the StorageTek (now Sun Microsystems) hockey league. I haven't been on real roller skates with the big orange toe stopper since 6th grade.
Ahhh good times, good times.... roller skating in circles to Xanadu, YMCA, the BeeGees, Andy Gibb, doing the hokey pokey...
I hope those mellow 1970's sixth grade vibes stay with me vs. the inline hockey years.
I'm pretty sure people would frown on the whole body checking children randomly against the wall as I skate round and round...

You played hockey??? Roller derby I could see, but hockey seems so... canadian.
Well roller blade hockey, not ice hockey... and I was the goalie so I really didn't check people or anything - I wasn't a strong enough skater. There weren't any dirty fights or anything over the lunch hour league in Corporate America! I kept my goal defended tho!
HA!HA!HA!HA!!! I say body check those kiddies.... life is hard!! : ) HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!!!!
Hope you have fun rollerskating... wonder if they'll have a disco ball that comes down for girls pick??
could I say, "or anything" more or anything??
I've heard that Americans are crazy about roller derby! But I thought you had to wear some kind of latex jumpsuit?
Hockey is a great sport, but pretty darn rough. Hope you didn't bust up your sister's nose!
LOL, you saying canadian hockey has dirty fighting ... ;-P
I remember the roller-skating on Friday nights at the arenas. Holding hands w/ cute boys etc. LOL ... so long ago.
Hope you had a good time!
