Local Joshua Whipps also hopes to bring a recreational outlet to Stone County with street hockey for all ages.
“I’ve been skating since I could walk,” Whipps said.
He came up with the idea a couple of months ago when he noticed Hattiesburg had a team.
Whipps wants to start with an adult hockey team for ages 18 and up. Then he wants to branch out to establish teams for more age groups.
He’s hoping to gather some adults for an information meeting to overcome some obstacles to establish a team. The Stone Hockey flyer says, “Learn to skate, handle a stick, and score goals in the fastest sport around!”
He knows a program would need a commercial location for practice.
The group would need funds for insurance and equipment as well.
