I just moved to West Des Moines from Florida a couple weeks ago and I need a little help. I managed to find the league at the Metro Ice Sports Facility and I am planning on signing up to play.
Is this the only place to play hockey? Can someone give me a list of ice in the area and local leagues to play in? Also are there any local hockey shops? Any information you can provide to someone new to the area would be appreciated.

Welcome to Iowa! 1. There are different levels of adult leagues. A/B league is very good players. C is a step down, and D is Development. 2. This year there is a new Iowa Chops Adult league which will play at Wells Fargo Arena. (very cool by the way). It is for C/D league players. For info here are some web sites: Metro Ice Sports facility. http://dmicerink.com/Adult League http://dmahc.com/I only know of three hockey shops in town.

Thanks for the help. I'm thinking C league right now, though I wouldn't mind play at Wells Fargo either. That would be pretty cool.
