Pro Beach Hockey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pro Beach Hockey (PBH) was a semi-professional inline hockey league. It lasted two seasons, 1999 and 2000.

PBH games were played with a ball instead of a puck on an outdoor rink in Huntington Beach, California. The season lasted slightly less than two months in the early summer. Games were taped during the short season and aired on ESPN and ESPN 2 from June to September. The league is infamous for having a ramp behind the nets to "increase speed," and a 2-point line that was treated much like basketball's three-point line.

The Web Warriors won the first PBH championship over the Dawg Pac two games to none. The Xpress won the second PBH championship in 2000 over the Heavy Metal, two games to one.
