Mark Szymanski began playing dek hockey at the age of 8. His first league experience was at the boys and girls club in Carnegie, PA.
The league was in a basketball gym and didn’t even require shin guards. I remember I would get really mad when we lost and my dad would be disappointed that I was being a poor sport.
Came to tp in cadet years. Should have been there earlier but didn’t know about it. Played well from the start.
