I began with street hockey in 1995, with a bunch of other enthusiasts. We played on a parking lot for a long time, and that quite an experience... We actually didn't spend much time playing, most of the time we were either in a small creek or in the Račeva river (both are beside the parking lot), looking just where the f**k is our puck. We lost a load of balls while playing there too.
2B contunued, but not soon :-)
