Roller Hockey

OVERT Roller Hockey Pickup

I represent a loose-knit group of roller-hockey enthusiasts (about 
100 currently on our e-mail list). We play a weekly outdoor pick-up 
game when the pavement is dry (and have been since at least 2000), 
and think it would be a great service to the Seattle-area roller-
hockey crowd if we could get a link to our website from yours:

Thanks in advance for your consideration,

Joe Ross
