A shot from today's game here in Doha, Qatar. Nothing quite as good as a goalie down and a wide open net.

Always fun to send the goaltender breakdancing, haha.

Thanks! He's gonna come out again in a few weeks hopefully and next time I will wear a better jersey ;)

I agree with you. Most beer league players dont have the awareness to be in that position or the speed to get up and down.

The "glue" issue looks like some kind of clear coating rubbing off. It might have something to do with the way the blue lines/graphics are applied to the liner. My first pair of VH skates had grey Clarino liner and nothing like that happened. After 3 years of use, the liner just lost a bit of its original sheen in some spots. I got my more recent pair just before True came into the picture. It has a brown Clarino liner and also doesn't have those True blue graphics, and after a year there is no sign of wear like in your pictures. As for skipping the top eyelet, if you place your True skate beside your old skate, you might see that the True's top eyelet is about the same height as the second eyelet of your old skate. That was the case when I compared my VH skate to the Bauer Flexlites that I wore previously.

Finally met EJB in person. This past weekend in Idaho Falls, his daughter's team played the 14U select team I help coach. His kid has a WICKED shot for a 12 year-old! I can see why she was the high scorer for the league. 2 games; his daughter's team won the first 7-2 and she frequently dangled our D. I think she had 3 goals and 2 assists. 2nd game, the MT girls won 4-2. I think they shut EJBjr down to 1 goal--they had to close the gap, put a body on her, force her outside, and shut down her dangles. Sorry EJB, it had to be done!

My buddy was nice enough to get some pics of me at a private pickup last week. Not bad for his first time shooting hockey!

Couple of commercial options around Richmond listed here - maybe contact them see if you can drop in and use your own grinding ring and share Sparx info: https://www.sparxhockey.com/pages/skate-sharpening-near-me

Finally got the hockey room in the basement complete...

As some of you know, my wife is battling breast cancer. She decided that she wanted to play hockey a couple of months ago and has been playing since last month. She wanted a pink stick, and so the fine gentlemen at Warrior did these up for her. Thanks to Keith and Doug!
