So, I was messing around online the other day, trying to find the roster for the NYPD hockey team. You know, just curious about who’s playing for them this season. I figured it would be easy to find, but it turned out to be a bit of a wild goose chase.
First, I went straight to the source, well, kind of. I found this Facebook page for “NYPD Hockey.” It had over 10,000 likes, which seemed promising, but there were only a few people actually talking about it. The page had some updates and stuff, but nothing about the current roster. Strike one.
Digging Deeper
Then I stumbled upon some website talking about league statistics. It had a phone number for a “League Admin” in Denver, which, I guess, is related to the league NYPD plays in. I wasn’t quite ready to call them up, so I kept digging.
Next, I found an article about standout local hockey players for the 2023-24 season. It mentioned some guy named Xander Carter-Kleven. I thought maybe he was on the NYPD team, but the article didn’t really say. It was more about high school players, I think. Another dead end.
After that, I ended up on some Reddit thread, r/hockey. People were talking about their favorite teams winning the Stanley Cup and which players would lift it first. Interesting, but not what I was looking for. It got me thinking about famous hockey teams, though.
More Research
I started looking up college hockey teams, like the Boston University Terriers. They’ve won five national championships! Then there was the Sacred Heart Pioneers and the Michigan State team. Michigan State’s got a bunch of titles too, like seven CCHA regular season championships and 11 CCHA Tournament titles. They even won a Big Ten Conference regular season championship and some Great Lakes Invitational titles. Also, some ACHA Division titles. They’re pretty good.
I even read about some hockey players from San Diego who are sons of Israeli immigrants. Cool stories, but still no NYPD roster.
Still No Luck
It felt like I was going in circles. I found a lot of interesting stuff about hockey, but not the specific thing I was after. I spent hours on this, and at this point, I was just getting more and more frustrated.
Honestly, I’m still not sure where to find the official NYPD hockey roster. It’s like a mystery. I guess I could try calling that League Admin number, or maybe reach out to the NYPD Hockey Facebook page directly. But for now, I’m taking a break from this search. I might come back to it later, but I need to clear my head first.
It’s crazy how something that seems so simple can turn into such a big ordeal. But hey, that’s the internet for you. You never know where you’ll end up when you start digging around.
- Lesson learned: Sometimes, finding specific info online is way harder than it should be.
- Next steps: Maybe call that league admin, or try contacting the NYPD Hockey Facebook page again.
- Status: Still haven’t found the roster, but learned a lot about other hockey teams!
If any of you guys have any tips on finding the NYPD hockey roster, let me know! I’m all ears.
