Wow congrats on being ambidextrous!

Never had an issue, maybe its the skates.... 😏

Because of the skate's great wrap, I had a hard time getting one of the tips through an eyelet, so I curved the tip with needle nose pliers and coated it with super glue so it holds its curve. It makes it easier to guide it through the eyelet.

I rarely have lace issues. However, I tend to swap out laces every few months since I have OCD and hate when my bright white laces get dirty.

I remember loving the metal tipped laces on my old Bauer 7000s back in high school - until they somehow came into contact with my steel and absolutely destroyed my sharpening.

Remember to read your casebook, not just the rule. For the puck out of play, the face off is located based on who caused the puck to go out of play. "Last play" faceoffs are determined by which team's actions caused the stoppage. In your case, the defending team caused the stoppage by deflecting the puck, and since it was inside his defending zone, the faceoff is at the nearest end-zone faceoff spot to where the puck went out. For the hand pass, it's defined in Situation 4 of the casebook https://www.usahockeyrulebook.com/page/show/1085021-handling-puck-with-hands
