  1. I'm a big fan of skate fenders. Used by a lot of NHL teams. I've been using them for a while. You can find them on sidelineswap used sometimes, or you can buy through the site directly.
  2. I also have a pair of frankenpads, I took the body of a pair of Rbk 6K Pro and took all the arm and caps off. I then sewed on a pair of caps that came off a pair of CCM 1899 shoulder pads. The chest on the ccms had less protection than the sherwood pads which is crazy to think possible. I love my frankenpads now!
  3. Whats a schedule? Both Men's teams that I play on in NY, in 2 separate leagues mind you, only give their individual games out 2-3 weeks in advance. We never get a full season schedule.
  4. I'll be honest, I've been scorekeeping for 21 years now, and you can only be as accurate, in most cases, as the Ref cares to be. I scorekeep High School level and half the time I'm not truly paying full attention. I go by what the ref is telling me the goals and assists are. Most times I'll be lucky they give 1 assist and half the time its probably not accurate.
  5. Thats exactly what i was wondering, i got a notification of a new fedex package yesterday and was like WTF is this. Then when i saw your post i said hmmm i wonder....
  6. Did it come from an address in Montreal by chance?
  7. I was coaching MS and JV and half the time they don't know how to control themselves either!
  8. I wound up buying a pair of referee pants to wear when I coach, they're big enough to fit my shin pads under (I don't trust those kids ability to not hit me) and yet they're still comfortable and not huge.

    Glue

    I'm tentative to do too much scuffing to it because its literally just the gel pad. Its the little pad that covers the tensioner at the back on the Reebok 11K. There's no backing on it, just the clear gel pad.

    Glue

    Marine epoxy is an interesting idea. I've tried both ways that it says you can use it in the instructions. This 2nd time I put glue on both sides, let them sit for about 10 minutes to let them tack up a little and then stuck them together and clamped it down. Both times they had almost a full week to dry (which I've read might not even be enough time with Liquid Nails but that's the longest I have between games). When the glue failed the first time, the gel pad came out completely clean with no glue residue on it at all, and from what I can see now, it looks like its going to do the same thing tonight if/when it falls out.

    Glue

    OK i've now glued this pad in place twice with the liquid nails and its about to pop off again. I don't expect it will make it through my game tonight. The glue is not adhering to the gel pad itself, it sticks fine to the hard plastic of the helmet piece. Anyone have any other ideas?
  12. The black alternates were terrible, but that was the Barclays mgmt decision to try and keep them in sync with the Nets. From what I'm hearing, its going to be a predominantly orange jersey with the NY from the stadium series jerseys. Love the Coyotes throwbacks! Canucks is great too, this was a fan vote though. They let them decide what the 3rd jersey would be for their anniversary season.
  13. There hasn't been anything good for the Islanders organization in a long time, and the fisherman is a reminder of probably the worst time this franchise has ever gone through. With Tavares leaving at the beginning of the summer, the team needs something new, not a reminder of something really bad.
  14. I really do love all these throwbacks. I'm sure the Islanders will find a way to royally screw it up since there really is no throwback option. For those of you who will say something, no the fisherman is NOT an option.
  15. OK I have a Reebok 11K and the pad that covers the rear adjuster at the back of the helmet has come off. I've used hot glue in the past to re-glue pads like this, mostly with poor end results. I'm hesitant to use hot glue on this pad though specifically because its one of those gel pads. I tried using rubber cement to put it back on and that was a complete fail, didn't even make it through 1 game. What do you guys use for re-attaching helmet pads? Any suggestions? I was thinking contact cement, but I've never used it so i don't really know. Thanks!
  16. As someone who has worked for the county HS league for the last 20ish years, I've seen all numbers of talented people come through, and almost none of them have gone on to play even DIII college, let alone DI. I can literally count on 1 hand the number of kids who played Varsity Hockey and then went on to play NCAA college. There have been plenty who have gone on to play College Club, but NCAA level, just doesn't happen. Like it has been said throughout this thread, if a kid is going to go somewhere, they will have been noticed and already be there. Sonny Milano came from Massapequa, NY. Our HS league had no idea who this kid even was because he never played a single game in it. He was already gone and in Cleveland playing by the time he was 15 years old.
  17. You can't blame Bettman for what the owners have done. The owners have locked the players out for all 3 stoppages, Bettman is just the voice of the owners and the guy who takes the brunt of the assault.
  18. While I think that Bettman certainly has his place in the HHOF I find it strange that the board has elected to put him in while he's still commissioner of the NHL. I feel like he should also have to be held to the same criteria as players, where as he should have to be retired for some amount of time. I fully understand that Builders don't actually need to be retired to be elected, but idk something just doesn't sit right about Bettman being the active commissioner and being elected to the Hall. On the other hand I think its been far too long, and I'm glad the Willie O'Ree will finally get his rightful place in the HHOF.
  19. Only nhl team, other than the caps now, who don't have a coach.
  20. Well there you go. Hoffman has been dealt to the Sharks along with Cody Donaghy and a 5th Rnd pick in 2020 for Mikkel Boedker, Julius Bergman and a 6th Rnd pick in 2020.
  21. Supposedly he tried to renegotiate, and was asking $5M over 5 yrs and the term was a real non-starter for the Caps Brian Maclellan said yesterday in his presser that he was free to coach for any team and that they accepted his resignation. Apparently Seattle hired Dave Tippet yesterday as an "adviser"
  22. +1 for the A&R visor kit. I use it on my only half shield right now. The other nice thing about it is the spacers connect the 2 bolts, so your not trying to fumble to get individual spacers in place on the visor. Once you get 1 bolt in the spacer is in place and you can more easily thread the 2nd bolt through.
  23. From what I've read though it sounds as though the rest of the team is behind Karlsson, so maybe not... Plus since this is Karlsson's contract year, and Hoffman has 2 years, it might be easier to get return for Hoffman.
