Augsburg/Erfurt, Germany
Since: 2015
The BeerBoys are founded in 2015.
It is very interesting, that a part of the Team is from Augsburg, the other one from Erfurt. The distance between these Citys is 400km. But we met the first Time in Füssen in a Hockey Camp.
From that Time, we had the Dream to build up a new Team together. To complete the Team, a few players joined, who met at a testimonial match of an old Teammate.
We all share the passion for hockey! But only a few of us learned to play as a kid, most started as an adult. Right now we all play in different Teams in different Hobby-Leagues or didn't play for years.
We all enjoy to play Hockey an want to have a good time together with friends. Our goal is to keep away from injurys. But if we play smart, it would be nice too. It's not easy to play smart, because we never played together before. However we don't want to be keept in mind just by drinking beer!
We want to be an attractive Team, which is keept in mind by a few tricks and gimmicks.
