Recreational hockey leagues in Japan

I'm a die hard hockey fan and I've been playing in rec leagues for a long time now in Canada. I was wondering if there are any rec leagues in Japan? Specifically the Tokyo and Osaka areas.

In all my 6 1/2 years here I have never met anyone who plays hockey. No one even talks about it. The closest thing is an ice skating ring, but I've never been.

I suppose we are talking about ICE hockey??
My daughter plays hockey at school, but it's not ice hockey!!!!

Here in Aichi there are many teams that make up the league. There are two teams here in the small city of Toyohashi, both better than the larger city of Nagoya.

Go Chikuwa!

Anyone can try out for the team.

The audience is too polite and quiet though.

There are a few ice hockey teams around. Because there are so few teams and pretty high demand, getting on a team can be tough.

I don't know of any pick up games that are ice hockey, but I sometimes play ball/street hockey with these guys www.tokyohockey.com. They are pretty good guys, it's awesome exercise, and there is no charge.
