  1. I don't see any age dropping in the rules either. The 15 year old girl should be on an under-16 team. I'm guessing there is no all-female or mixed under-16/bantam team in your area and she might be at a physical disadvantage as 15 and 16 year old boys can check harder than the 13 and 14 year old boys.
  2. Step-ups is good. I do that as I'm recovering from my shoulder replacement. I just set up the box to it's lowest step up height, 20", and do 10 reps with one leg and 10 reps with the other leg as one set and do that 4 to 8 sets consecutively. I do leg press on a pin-selected leg press machine, not the free-weight plate leg press machine. Just use a machine you can do leg presses while holding only one hand grip effectively. And I use the abductor and adductor machines and the calf raise machine for my leg workout. Cardio-wise, I use a treadmill. Without being able to run, a walk workout doesn't challenge me cardiovascular-wise but it burns calories if I put in a long walk (an hour or more). You're probably going to lose some endurance conditioning, whatever level that was, while recovering. Note, I only added doing lower body weight-resistance exercises after my doctor said it was okay. I was doing walking only for awhile. It might be different since you had a different surgery.
  3. Probably a crazy question, but why would anyone not want to hear what's going on around you? Teammates and goalies need to be communicating to each other on the ice and on the bench, not just zone out from everyone else. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, that's a different story.
  4. That's the game all the major companies play. Providing a new stick with an incremental performance updates. That way, you are buying something that is better than last year's model. It's kind of lame as some of these incremental updates are just new paint jobs. All the while, NHL players sometimes have an older stick model that has the paint job of a completely different stick just for marketing purposes. Can't really do anything about it. But if you ever find the perfect stick, buy a dozen of them.
  5. Wow, I was wondering what that was in the video.
  6. If your sauce passes (and other passes) are getting flubbed, either flex is too high, or lie might be off (blade's heel or toe touches the ice when you are passing and shooting)
  7. I'm 5'6" too. I got a 110 flex shaft because it was on clearance, I put a Bauer carbon fiber blade on it.. I cut it down and it has zero whip. I use it as a back-up stick.
  8. Check out prostockhockey.com stick selection. You can see a picture of the curve for these custom sticks. Pick the P88 and left or right hand checkboxes on the left-hand side of the page to narrow down the sticks shown. Some are same as retail and some are custom.
  9. Interesting. Maybe it's just for looks.He wears his shin pads under the tongue, but maybe wants the shin pad over the tongue look. Here's an older picture with the tongue going above the top of the boot.
  10. Pitch adjustment is the whole blade's profile getting angled, so you could have a 9/10 blade with +1 pitch or 9/10 blade with -1 pitch adjustment. Imagine if there was a thin piece of wood put on the heels of your skate boot, and then someone attached the blade holders, that would be positive or aggressive pitch adjusment. If someone put a thin piece of wood on the forefoot area on the bottom of the skate boot and then attached the blade holders, that would be negative pitch. The front half is still 9' profile and the back half is still 10' profile. Or you can tell your sharpener how your skates feel and how he or she would adjust the pitch.
  11. If you feel like you are getting pushed forward and tripping over your skates, you would want negative pitch. If you feel like you are getting pushed backwards and can't hold a deep forward tuck like a speed skater, then you would want positive pitch. If you feel balanced, but want to make deeper/faster turns and doing choppy/quick east-west skating, then you will want the front profiles shorter. If you want to glide longer for efficient north-south skating, you want long rear profiles. Sometimes, you can keep your current profile and alter the ROH, radius of hollow, for more glide or grip in hard turns/stops as an easier way to adjust for harder or softer ice.

  13. Pants usually go by waist circumference, weight and height. This is the bauer pants size chart. If you are in the 'between size's zone, go with the small and risk a shot between the shin guard and bottom of the pants. Or go with a medium for a loose fit and wear suspenders to have it pulled up as high as comfortably possible. Or, you can try to look for a hockey girdle and a shell to go over it..
  14. I've saw a ref get hit by a ricochet of a slap shot off someone's stick and right at his cup. No time to get out of the way or block it. This was a NCAA Div III men's game so it was a major clap bomb. He actually was able to get up and finish the game. Yeah, I'm four weeks out, but there are certain angles where I have no strength in my arm yet, so I wear my sling when I''m out of the house, but i don't wear it anymore when I'm in the house. God luck with your surgery.
