Alright so today I wanted to figure out where to find the hockey schedules for both kids and adults around Medway. Seems straightforward, right? Yeah, I thought so too until I actually tried doing it. Here’s exactly what went down.
The Starting Point: Pure Confusion
Got this lukewarm coffee sitting next to me, fired up the laptop, and went straight to the place I figured would have it all—the Medway sports site thing. What popped up? Some ancient page last updated like three years ago. Saw a “Hockey” tab, clicked it… bam! Nothing but basic club info and how to join. Not a single game date or time anywhere. Felt like hitting a brick wall before even starting.
Okay, regrouped. Tried the town council site instead. Dug through their recreation section. Found a PDF labeled “Community Sports” from last fall. Thought, “Sweet, finally!” Opened it up… it was about tennis court resurfacing and summer youth soccer. Total miss. Felt ridiculous.
The Middle Mess: Tabbing Out Like Crazy
At this point my browser looked insane. Sixteen tabs open, half of ’em froze. Searched stuff like “medway hockey club games” and “medway youth hockey practice times”. Ended up on some regional league portal that wanted me to log in just to see if they even had a schedule. No way. Closed that tab so fast.
Then stumbled on a social media group for local parents. Scrolled forever. Someone had asked about U12 practice back in 2022. Replies just said “check the council portal”. Hilarious… and useless.
Found another site plastered with ads. Tried clicking a tiny “Fixtures” link buried under an animation. Clicked it… got a pop-up demanding I sign up for their newsletter just to maybe see schedules. Nope. Said something rude to my screen and kept looking.
The Breakthrough: Actually Useful Stuff
Almost gave up. Took a breath, rubbed my eyes—starting to get a headache. Then remembered someone mentioning the actual ice rink’s website. Searched specifically for that name + “schedule”. Clicked a link, held my breath.
Found this page! Actual dates! Times! Divided by age groups and adult leagues! It’s all right there:
- Mini Mites: Tuesday nights at 5 PM on Rink 2
- U14s: Thursday at 6:30 PM & Saturdays at 10 AM
- Adult Rec League: Wednesday nights at 8:45 PM & Sunday afternoons
No sign-ups, no logins, just… the actual information. Finally. My shoulders actually dropped.
So What’s the Takeaway?
Most official town sites are garbage for real-time stuff. League portals wanna trap you in sign-ups. The magic happened when I went direct to the source—the actual rink running the sessions. They kept it simple, updated it often, and didn’t play games. Moral of the story? Skip the middlemen. Go straight to where the puck actually hits the ice. Saves a ton of screaming at your laptop. Cheers.
