Sunshine Shootout MVP 2009 Steve Gold fills the cup!

We are using this site to give the Street Hockey players or potential players of Raleigh a place to find some times and places to play Street Hockey.

I want to clarify that we are talking STREET HOCKEY and NOT roller hockey. Also known as Ball Hockey or Dek Hockey, it is played on your feet. Anyone can learn how to play, especially if you know the rules of hockey.

We play league games at Dreamsportscenter at 1016 Investment Blvd, Apex.   We also have regular pickup hockey outdoors at the RecZone.

Email me at and I will get you the information you need and get you started playing soon.

The championship cup rests on the pool table at the team house in New Port Richey.

 The RSHL sent a team to Tampa to participate in the 2009 Sunshine Shootout during the weekend of June 26. The Tailgators, a temporary tournament moniker, took on teams from Tampa, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Washington DC and played against players from as far away as Ottawa. After winning two of their three preliminary games, the Tailgators ran over three teams in the playoffs including the team who gave them their only loss of the weekend.

Steve Gold was named Tournament MVP. Dan, a defenseman from Ottawa playing with the Tailgators, was named defensive MVP. Most Valuable Goalie was our very own J.C. Fairchild, whose allowed goals numbered only in the single digits for the weekend.

Team members were as follows:
Steve Brooks - C
Jason Campbell
Mike Cassetta - C
Keith Cramer
Robert Doring
JC Fairchild
Stan Gilliland
Steve Gold
Mike Kelsey
Rick Langlois
Bob Olsen
Pawel Pelka
JC Rumbaugh
Scott Russo

Special thanks go out to Deidre Rumbaugh, who not only arranged accommodations, but also cooked all the meals, did all the shopping, laundry and generally made our weekend in Tampa an outstanding experience.

Although the sport is now much more organized, for many, their first experience remains the same as for those who first played street hockey. It simply involved a few friends or family members, an open area, such as a roadway or parking lot near their home, some rocks or bricks to mark the goal posts, a tennis ball, old hockey sticks, and the game was on. Now it is played with skill and enthusiasm as die-hard hockey fans expand their horizons by adding street hockey to their list of favorite sports to play. Street hockey is fast paced and has most of the same rules as ice hockey but without the ice. Thus, people can enhance their hockey skills without having to learn how to skate. Street hockey is one way to enjoy hockey, get in shape, and perfect your skills so that you can join the ranks of those skillful players who play hockey because of their love of the game.
