had a game yesterday. Because both benches had so many people cancel out we voted on 4vs4 play. Wide open, lots of creativity on some guys' part. TONS of fun.

Haha, I heard terrible things about the rink in A.C; skated on it for the first time today and am pleased to say it's not bad t all! As for Jersey itself, this isn't my first go-around, I know what I've signed up for Backwards skating progression. Any advice? Also, I recently started using Powerfoot inserts and they're great: less negative space, more comfort and increased stride power, particularly when skating backwards. Definitely recommend

Any setting that has more of the flat forward of center will cause the skate to pitch forward. The CAG does not profile the whole blade. Your shop should know how to put you more toward your heels if that's what you want.

What a big day of hockey! Played three games back to back (just an ice surfacing between games). First one was my team, won 7-3, first goal against was a great top blocker corner snipe. Other two came from rebounds after two saves. Second game was filling in for the bottom team in the league. Finished off 2-1, getting their first regulation win of the season. The only one getting in was a rebound that got through a gap with about half an inch to spare after my flailing kick. Third game was tough. 7 total skaters on my team, the other team had 6 on the bench. My team were outskated, but they needed to be - they were playing incredibly intelligent hockey, but they only had so much energy to give. After 36 shots on me to 16 on them, lost 5-3 (including an empty netter in the last minute). Had a highlight reel to heartbreak moment in this game, with a shot from just left of the point, dropped down and saved, where it popped out to my right with a wide open net to the centre. They took the shot and I dived at it, pushing the stick as far forward as I could and saved it again, the puck dribbling behind the goal line to the right. As I landed, lost my grip on my stick, where they played the puck to push it back in front, it hit the blade of my stick on the ice, followed the stick around, and deflected into the goal. I just wasn't meant to get that one. Felt great all the way through, but the moment I sat down after game three, my legs and feet decided they'd had enough. It's now Monday morning here, and I can barely move! Got until Thursday to recover for my next game.

As a New Jersey native, may God have mercy on your soul. On the other hand, you have a rink right there if you can bring your equipment with you. Flyers Skate Zone http://ac.flyersskatezone.com/

One of the biggest myths is that stock radius are accurate. Regardless of skate manufacturer, the radius on the mass produced runners can vary quite a bit from the published stock radius, so for example the left runner could have a 8.3' and the right a 9.5. You never know, 90% out of the box are not what the manufacturer claims. Remember, these are mass produced by a subcontractor. If your blades are fairly new, you should go to your local guy and have him do them. If you like them, then you are golden. If they feel funky, you can then give me a buzz. 60mm flat might be too much for your size steel, you may want to try a 40mm flat.
