Just pulled the trigger and ordered a pair of Alkali Shift skates! size 9 (same as my current mission Boss SE's) hopefully they fit. Excited to give these things a try and hoping I like them better than my all time favourite skates, the Old Mission Proto VSI's!

New Customs (my first pair) just arrived yesterday. Very excited to try them out tomorrow. Specs listed in custom mitts thread.

Congrats! I grew up singing in choirs and went to college and grad school studying classical voice. n fact the conflict bewtween Sunday AM choir and Sunday AM hockey (second to cost) was a huge factor in my leaving the game behind as a kid. Although I guess I made the right call - I still do some professional singing locally when I have time, and I'm close to the field working in arts-management as my full-time day job. Nobody was ever going to pay me to play hockey. It's really cool to see someone else with an appreciation for both of these things - it's a rare occurrence!

After a long hiatus from formal singing (as in, I stopped around 8th grade, and I'm 27 now), I decided to join my local church's choir a few weeks ago. Today was the church's annual 'music sunday' which is what it says on the tin, and the centerpiece of the service today was Vivaldi's Gloria. The whole program was so much fun to sing, and the Vivaldi with orchestral accompaniment was absolutely beautiful and we all got a standing ovation from the congregation. I didn't think I'd be able to do it, and I certainly still need practice, but I got through it was only a few cracks in the voice and had a grand time. What a way to jump back into something!
