New York Puck Pursuit Weekly Hockey Sessions

Fri, Oct 2, 10:45 AM
From Puck Pursuit Weekly Pickup Hockey Club

We are getting back on the ice for our weekly pickup session and invite anyone interested in a friendly, low-pressure game to join us. These sessions are designed for players who want to get some extra time on the rink without the intensity of a formal league. Whether you are looking to work on your skating or just want to get a good sweat in with some like-minded hockey fans, you will find a welcoming group here. We keep the format simple: we focus on moving the puck, playing clean, and having a good time. It does not matter if you are a seasoned player or someone who has been off the ice for a while, as long as you can hold your own and keep the game respectful. We have the ice booked for a solid hour, so come ready to play. If you are planning to join us this week, please make sure to grab a spot on the RSVP list so we can keep an accurate head count for the rink. We hope to see you there.

**Always want to hop on the next flight to Korea? Come join us for a little K-Travel Talk!** Whether you’re going to Korea this fall, planning a holiday trip, or simply dreaming about your next visit, let’s talk about Korea—our travel fantasies, dream destinations, favorite places, food, experiences, and everything we’d love to do there. No itinerary required! Maybe your dream is wandering through a hanok village in hanbok, drinking soju like a local, eating ramen by the Han River, exploring K-drama locations, attending a K-pop concert, getting a Korean beauty makeover, or even renting a Korean boyfriend! 😂 **But where did these dreams come from?** **Discussion topics:** * **Your Korea Bucket List:** What do you dream of doing, seeing, eating, or experiencing in Korea? * **Korea Through K-Dramas & K-Pop:** What have you learned—or *think* you’ve learned—about Korea from the screen? * “**Made in Korea”:** **A Netflix movie** about small-town Tamil woman travels to Seoul with her own dreams and expectations. Her journey takes her from a job scam to caregiving, friendship, self-discovery, and eventually building her own business in Korea. What does her experience say about the Korea we imagine versus the Korea we encounter? * **The Korean Dream:** Hollywood helped create the American Dream. Have K-dramas and K-pop created a Korean Dream of their own? What is the Korea we imagine? * **K-Drama People vs. Real People:** Are Korean friendships, dating, romance, and everyday interactions really like they are in K-dramas?**Reality Check from Native Koreans:** What feels authentic? What is exaggerated? What do foreigners often misunderstand about Korea? * **Dream Destination or Real Place?** After seeing the fantasy and reality, what still makes you want to go to Korea? **Native Koreans are especially welcome to share your personal experiences, local insights, and recommendations!** **🗣 Language:** The discussion will be conducted primarily in English, with Korean naturally mixed into the conversation. ✨ **The Vibe:** Easygoing and engaging. **👥 Who it’s for:** **–** K-drama & K-pop fans – Travel enthusiasts and Korea dreamers – Korean/English speakers and learners *(Calling all Korean native speakers!
