Hockeydog 8 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 I'd leave it behind the bench, have not had a problem, at least not yet. At least I can keep track of it there. I agree with not leaving anything extra in the locker room. Cell phone stays in car with wallet. Car keys, and credit card are all that come in, unless I pay cash, then I have exact amount so no change. CC is covered if swiped. I tend not to have a lot extra in my bag either. Maybe an extra lace and some tape at the most. I make sure all my equipment is ready, tightened, etc before I leave the house. I use velcro straps for my shins, so I don't have much tape on me. Now for league games, where I know everyone, I might be a little less careful, but for PU the locker room is like out in the open as far as I am concerned.

MarsB 33 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 People use other people's sticks left on the bench w/o permission? I've never heard of that. Water bottles, I've seen. And I've had my wallet stolen out of a locker room before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donkers 31 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 I've gotten my wallet stolen once but I still bring my wallet in with me because sometimes I'll want a hot dog. I also bring my cell phone because I have to update Facebook everytime I play with a bathroom selfie in full gear.Oh and I'm always using someone else's stick anyways because I break a stick almost everytime I play and am too poro to buy my own.

Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted February 12, 2014 I've almost never come across anyone borrowing a stick, but I realized while reading this thread that it might be due to playing in private pickups. There tend to be the same skaters every time and the majority know each other, so it would be more someone asking if they could use a stick because theirs broke -- and they were too stupid to bring a back up.....

Monty22 821 Report post Posted February 13, 2014 If you are concerned about someone using your back up stick, buy a stick bag with a carry strap, and wear it over your shoulder while you play. Problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem solved. I second this. Sling it onto your back like an archer carries his arrows and quickly draw the stick that best suits the situation at hand.

AfftonDad 88 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 I brought an extra, extra stick to pickup last night. The previous time I played, this guy that can barely skate and tries to make up for it with crosschecks, checks from behind and slashes, comes down on my APX2 with a two hander from shoulder height with WAAAY too much force. I said come on man... it's a $250 stick. He said "that's not my problem." So last night I brought an old stick that I don't care about anymore and I warned him that if he does it again, I'm going to go straight to the bench and get that stick and it's sole purpose is going to be to break his stick in to two pieces. Fortunately, he got the message and I didn't have to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustyhole 1 Report post Posted June 29, 2014 Personally I've never had any problems with stuff going awol and have had guys ASK to use a stick. One broke his main twig then literally immediately after broke his brand new R10. Another guy had his shoes taken. But if I ever saw someone grabbing my water... to the moon Alice!

MatthewRoach7 130 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 I guess you have to make the call on how secure the locker room you are going to use is. I always keep an extra stick on the bench. That being said all the rinks that I have played in have space of this on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
