Roller Hockey Team W/ CPPC? Any Idea?

Hello Again,

Got this one today of a Roller Hockey Team.

Was wondering what people thought might CPPC stand for?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Wild-eyed guesses -- Cal(ifornia) Poly(technic) Pacific College ?????

OR

Cal(ifornia) Poly(technic) Pomona College?????

 

My boyfriend played hockey...I will have to show him this pic when he wakes up. Its funny how unpadded they were way back in the day Also your not a true hockey player until you have lost a couple of teeth

 

My BF just looked at the pic and thinks its either Russian or Czech? He said to look up old Olympic teams.

 

Well heck, my BF and I are still looking. The CPPC confused him with this Russian team CCCP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_national_ice_hockey_team

 

There is another photo from about the same time in this link - scroll down just a bit . . . http://manhattanrollerhockeyleague....l-uniform-logo-information/history-of-hockey/

It was also known as Roller Polo.
But I have not been able to find anything about CPPC.

 

And there is probably more info than you want about the game in this link to an article about it.

My BF just noticed a ball in the pic,ice hockey uses a puck. So look up Field Hockey.

Field hockey on roller skates? That would be rough!

 

Messi's link to the Manhattan league does say that in the beginning they used either ball or puck.

 

I have a friend who runs the Roller Derby Museum in NYC. Even though this isn't Roller Derby, the folks who belong to the museum have a lot of knowledge about early skating. I'll run this by them and see what they think.

 

First and foremost, thank you for all of the replies!

Early Hockey was played with ball or stick.... and not always played on ice. This is basically a form of "Roller" hockey that was developed.

I'm still not sure exactly what CPPC stands for even though I've been researching over and over.

Thank you so much for the links & the team effort on here! Really appreciate it!

Roller skates??? I don't see them in this pic? I am going blind

 

Those are roller skates right? lol

 

Yes they sure are.now I see them

 

Haha Hey I can never be sure. Some of the stuff I see in images are things my eyes "want" me to see lol

 

Well, I just noticed the Roller in your title, I am so embarrassed....I will blame my stupidity on my pain pills.
