It started in a year when Gangsta’s Paradise was the top single,  players gathered  twice a week, Wed. nights at 7 pm and Sun. mornings at 9 am. 5 on 5 with no goalies, smaller goals, gel-filled hockey balls.  The years have passed and players have come and gone.  What started as a few guys that loved the sport has evolved into over 40 active players and many others who play when they can and a participant/supporter list of 150+.

The group introduced goalies and full sized nets in 2022 and have had a few brave souls get between the pipes for games.

In 2018, we installed boards all the way around our “rink” at Walker Park on the Kirkwood/Edgewood neighborhood border (close to I-20 and Moreland Ave). Pour one out for the Union Hill Rink in Alpharetta that was being dismantled. ASH partnered with the Bike Polo crew to extract the precise number of boards needed to fit the court. 

We have guys in their awkward high school teen years all the way up to their 60s…though the average age is probably 35-40.

We spend more time on the Facebook page than we do this website. And we spend way more time working and thinking about hockey than actually playing. 

ASH offers a full line of physical fitness and mental health support including training sessions and counseling.
