Any hockey guys here

Based on previous WSO threads, here are some insights and advice for getting involved in hockey leagues in NYC while working in high finance:

1. Balancing Work and Hockey:

   • Many high finance professionals find it challenging to balance long work hours with playing hockey. However, men's leagues often have late-night games, which can fit better into a busy schedule.

2. Chelsea Piers Leagues:

   • Chelsea Piers in NYC is a popular spot for hockey leagues. The level of competition can vary, but there are often former NCAA players and other skilled individuals participating.

3. Joining a Team:

   • To get on a team in NYC, you might want to start by visiting the rinks and talking to league organizers. Networking with other players can also help you find a team that matches your skill level and schedule.

4. Networking:

   • Use your existing network within the finance community to find other players. Many leagues and teams are formed through word-of-mouth and personal connections.

5. Commitment:

   • Be upfront about your availability and commitment level. Teams appreciate knowing when they can count on you, especially given the demanding nature of finance jobs.
