After Hours

Tim Stapf

Tim Stapf, owner of Central Coast Flooring, started playing roller hockey 18 years ago when he was 31. It was coaching his son’s hockey team in Orange County that led him to “fall in love with the sport.” In 2001 Stapf says he learned about “these guys in Morro Bay that play a tough brand of hockey.” Those guys are known as the Del Mar Boys. They play for about three hours on Sunday mornings - no referees, full contact, and only a few time outs to rest. According to Stapf, the camaraderie and competitiveness is like no other sport. “I don’t know how many years I have left before it’s time for me to hang up my skates. But once you play the sport, you become hooked for life.” SLO LIFE
