Slap Shots Open the Net

A slap shot on an open net is only possible during warmups at Cabin John Ice Rink. About 20 players show up per session.

Though Murray, Ginns and Henkart happen to carry advanced degrees as well as hockey jerseys sticks, players hail from all sorts of professions and exhibit a wide range of skills, they said. There are a couple of NIH policemen, Brett Reese and James Kowal, who is well respected and also runs his own Sunday night scrimmage at Wheaton. There are administrators, physicians, technicians, postdocs, and folks from the Uniformed Services University across the Pike. There are, increasingly the men say, computer experts, salespeople and banking types, with cosmopolitan interests in sports. Women have always been welcome, though not many have played.
