I actually just signed up for this league last week with a couple of friends.
We're playing in the DC league.  It certainly seems like a well organized
league.  Apparently, they've been around for 15 years.  When I called to
register, the guy on the phone was very helpful and answered all of my
questions.  Their booklet on the league (free for the asking) is very thorough
and should answer most questions.  It certainly ain't cheap, though.  But, after
some investigation, it's pretty much on par with the rest of the leagues in the
area.  Ice time runs about $400 plus any equipment costs including a helmet with
face shield.  You also have to buy their uniform.  You get 8 lessons (1 per
week) and then like 8-10 games.  They take you through all the fundamentals from
skating techniques to puck hadling to line changes.  If you want to sign up, do
it quickly.  The registration period goes through the end of October or so, and
I'm sure it's starting to fill up.
 
Since there may be no NHL to watch, I'll just have to settle for hockey-l and
playing hockey myself.  I can't wait!!!!!
