Been through a lot the last 2 and half years. In 2014 Diagnosed with recurrent PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) Tubes in my liver for three months in the spring. In July I had a massive infection in my kidneys. Where the doctors at one point told my wife I had 24 hours to start to improve or I wouldn't make it. Then my second liver transplant on November 7, 2014. In 2015 Had a hernia surgery in May Had another hernia surgery in October. In 2016 Finally got the OK to start working out in February. Starting public skating in May. Last night I got back on the ice for the first time since Summer Jam in Toronto in 2013. I wasn't very good last night, but boy did have a lot of fun.

First time back playing since my second liver transplant. My post in Sweet spot.

Thought these were pretty cool:

Welcome back to the ice. No more surgery! (at least, for as long as possible, fingers crossed for you). Glad you are looking healthy.

So, in other words, you do get time before game for "Warm ups" but it's basically "2 minute danglefest". Which is mostly what happens around here (alternately: I sit there in the goal and people are STILL SHOOTING AGAINST THE BOARDS LIKE HI?? I AM A GOALIE???), except with the Russian Embassy, who are good and responsible people. Last Tuesday, I got no warm-up whatsoever and played like crap. I definitely feel better and more in the groove when someone endeavors to do a proper warm-up.

LOL - I thought you meant adding the shim to a new pair of POWERFOOT inserts... Clearly you meant a new pair of skates. Looks like I need to sit out a few shifts to regain my focus haha.

@badger_14 Warm up? Ha!!!! They usually just start winding up, then skate super-slow penalty shots!!!! One guy will occasionally warm me up properly with glove, blocker, then each pad and even the body. But a proper warm up rarely happens in these parts. I hate when they shoot when my back is turned. I have often wanted to jumpout to do my Hextall impersonation, but I just keep my cool.

So this video showed up on my FB feed this morning. I like a lot of what it says, although I think it vastly overestimates the skill of a lot of adult league players with the notion that one skater can consistently pick glove, blocker, and then each pad. Also, how much warm-up time do they think we have, anyway? With the Russian Embassy, typically Misha or Gilad will set me up with five or six shots each from the top of the circle, the slot, and the top of the other circle. I like that. I did like the note about making eye contact with the goalie. I (personally) hate when people shoot on me blindside, or when my back is turned. What about you guys? What do you like for a warm-up? Do you get any warm-up time?

Excited to see you back out on the ice in bahston!

and some really hard to find speedwicks:

Few years ago broke tibia and fibula. Totally sucked, have metal rod in leg from knee down. Just follow the PT instructions to a T, no matter how bad it sucks.

Added another pair of Whale gloves to the collection [/URL]

Go with one skate with the shim and the other without, then see which fit you prefer. They will compress over time, but I wouldn't say significantly. Like I previously posted I attached the shims to my inserts, but don't have them permanently attached to the toecap. My next test is to see at what point I need to replace mine.

Here are a few pics of me from our Hockey Fights T1D skate at the War Memorial in Syracuse, NY. Home of the Syracuse Crunch the AHL affiliate of Tampa Bay.
