Hey your welcome
Its fun, not overly intense, a few guys play in the superleague, a few have played WHL though. I never played any organized hockey aside from this league and I am ok (not great). I would think it is probably below tier 1, It only really gets intense in the playoffs, some guys wear shinpads but thats about it for equipment, you can wear hockey gloves, use any kind of stick etc.
I would suggest you come play for a team one night as a tryout and see what you think.
email:
alliancefloorhockey@gmail.com and tell them you are interested in trying out for a night before committing. They should set you up with a team that needs guys. my team (the Penguins) I think can't pick up anymore players now as we have too many, but I could be wrong.
