Pro Beach Roller Hockey '98 - '99 on ESPN

Pro Beach Hockey (PBH) was filmed in Huntington Beach, California and broadcast on ESPN for three season from 1998 - 2000. 6 Professional Roller Hockey Teams battled for $50k in prize money each year. Known for it's 2 point goals and ramps in the end zones the game was hard hitting and high scoring with an occasional fight thrown in for good measure...It was a blast!!!

Man, talk about a core memory unlocked.... I looooooved watching this as a kid....

[@kosmicmarxman443]

Wow, I always remembered watching this stuff as a kid but I couldn't recall exactly what it was. I thought the ramped ends were so cool.

[@nothingissacred96]

Wow I loved this so much as a kid and was bummed when it disappeared

[@vision821k4]

Same here. I actually thought this was cooler than the NHL at the time, not even knowing they sux'ed in comparison lmao

[@robramsey2003]

A friend of mine was all about this. Roller Hockey was big in the Pittsburgh area at this time. I would like to see a full game of this.

I guess I should chime in and confirm that it was huge in Philly too. It helped that the Flyers were still in the Lindros/Leclair era. I remember almost every street in my neighborhood having a game going, as well as huge pickup games in the blacktop areas of the school

[@davec4700]

Wow... Actually played a few games in this "league." Did anyone ever win a championship? Or, did the season just end? Can't even remember which team we played for...

[@Toddeo2.0]

Web Warriors won the first PBH championship, named The James J. Allegro Cup, over Dawg Pac, two games to none. Xpress won the second PBH championship in 1999 over Heavy Metal, two games to one. Web Warriors won the final PBH championship in 2000.

Hey, connor mertens, do you remember Pro Beach Hockey?

[@aaronmaxim]

.....epic

[@bobzyurunkel]

Why is there a ramp at the ends of the rink? 😂

[@adamhenry5791]

Haha oh man I remember

[@alexloldun]

Were there actual fans or was it just the hobos on the beach?

[@davecfishing7907]

free to public lol

[@bhughes8301]

I remember watching this as a kid

[@ryancosio4331]

If they got rid of the gimmicks, ball, lame ramp thing behind the net and actually played real hockey on the beach like this...it’d be a hit still

[@davecfishing7907]

I agree! just regular inline hockey on the beach setting would be better. everyone here just takes slap shots with the stupid ball and doesnt create any plays from below the goal line; boring lol

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

Hockey with a ball just DOES NOT work! It has to be a puck in order to handle.

[@davecfishing7907]

I agree...its lame and should only be used when off skates

[@jakefavre]

it's not difficult to stick handle with a ball
