In the beginning of 1995, a group of friends that played ice hockey in a mall here in Rio de Janeiro decided to play in the streets. The meatings occured every sunday in the avenue of Ipanema beach.
          Many people stranged but they started to learn to apreciated this fresh sport from Europe and North America. There was no apropriated court to play so they continued to play in the street, but with the big publicity given to hockey, hundreds of new players started to be formed.
          In the midle of May, 1996, the Jockey Club Brasileiro built the first court with the oficial dimensions established by IIHF.
          The Mad Parrot's sportive curriculum is very good: four-times champion of Rio de Janeiro Championship (1996-1999), three times the team got the second place in Brazilian Championships (1996, 1998, 1999) and our biggest conquest was in 1998 when the Mad Parrot's won the South America Championship; the biggest title of a brazilian team.
