About This Page: This is a discussion on Hockey Players Forum within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Culver city Ice rink has pick up sunday nights at 10:45 pm...
the rink website is here Culver Ice Arena - Entry Page
The pickup is not listed on the
The pickup is not listed on the website, but it happens every sunday night, you can always call earlier in the day to confirm, but it is every sunday night at 10:45 pm
It's a great pickup, in my opinion, always has at least 1 goalie, it will usually have 2 but lately it's been hard to get the other goalies because the showing hasn't been too good. There are wide range players but for the most part its pretty much intermediate, and all players are welcome, and it's always a lot of good guys, so whether youre just starting, or have been playing a while just come on down and see bernie, he's the older guy that runs it and is extremely nice, always wears yellow jersey.
10:45 pm-12 midnight sunday nights at Culver city ice costs 15$.
I'm in the Sunday night class at Culver....if it wasn't for that, I might be up for a Sunday late-night pickup! But hockey twice in one day is a little insane if you ask me.
I'm not very good and have played exactly one game on ice, but in that game I hit a post and only fell over once. Can I play?
How decent is your skating?
Bernie is probably 80 years old and he usually comes out for a few shifts and the pre-scrimmage. There is another guy who is older as well but not as old as Bernie. So this is not extremely "high level", so to speak.
You will get all the ice time you can handle, but I wouldn't want you to feel "out of the play" as most guys there are at least okay skaters.
If you are unsure of your skating, then I would also recommend going out to a few sticktimes. They have some on sunday mornings at Culver.
You can always just come on down and check it out. It's only 15 bucks so what have you got to lose!
I can't do a hockey stop (Go figure) but this sounds cool. I may just go this weekend. I just need to sharpen my skates.
See stickied thread at top of Locker Room (or whatever we're calling this corner of LGK).

Okay, I'm not fooling anybody, given the time change and the fact that I work today and tomorrow at 7:00am, I'd be way too tired tonight to come out and play... does anyone know of any other rinks that have beginner-friendly pickups? Or are most pickups considered open to all skill levels?
I might be able to make it out to the Sunday night Culver rink a time or two (next week, maybe), but I also want to find one that I can go to regularly that works with my schedule...
3) Call Burbank Pickwick Ice to see if they still have 1 hour skills-n-drills + 1 hour pickup (talent sorted itself out so that "A" people played with "A" people and "B" with "B" alternating shifts). Used to be on Wed 10pm-midnight and some Sundays during the morning or early afternoon.

John Bryan is a prick. I dislike that guy and several players on his team The Castle. That idiot has no respect for anyone. He has twice, two handed a teammate over the head with his stick this season. Also, just this last Saturday he kicked me as I skated past him. He was lucky, I had #72's number that night.
The Castle #72, If you read this I'm sorry I cleaned your clock. But you deserved it. Next time, I hope you will think before you dis-respect an opponent.
On the advice of a fellow LGK'r, I will edit my post.
I highly recommend that people do not attend Mr. Bryan's pick up's. By attending this man's activities you fully support his dis-respect for other players of the game.
Another alternative is Southern California Ice Hockey which runs a good pick up for skaters learning to play. They enforce play time which gives the beginner's a decent amount of ice time.
