Many of the players are competent former and present ice and field-hockey players. The league's close-knit family has spawned ice-hockey teams playing at Chelsea Piers and at Central Park's outdoor Lasker rink. It's also led to marriages and business deals (which are not necessarily mutually exclusive). It's also featured some really fun moments like when my son's girl friend (a fierce forechecker) hip checked Mike Myers (of Austin Powers fame) into the net prompting him moan to the refs.
