Secret of the pros- put a hand warmer or two inside your cup in the pocket. I usually wear under armour tights, shins over, with sweats or waterproof pants depending how cold it is. A UA mock turtle neck, plus a sweatshirt and jersey. layers are key. A fairer isn’t a bad idea either. plan on bringing something warm for after/between games. I prefer Duluth fleece carhartt style pants if you’re coming from Cali, my best advice to you is; however cold you think Minneapolis will be in January, it’ll be much colder than that

5iveHole makes fleece lined ODR/Pond Hockey long pants.

This says that you are relying on the boot to hold your ankle straight instead of you controlling the angle of the blade thru correct muscle control and correct bio mechanics. If the angle is changing then it indicates you are pronating, even with a good fitting boot you will still pronate in the boot, the boot just hides it. But if you don't have the time to train to fix it then the best fitting boot you can get is your next best solution. Have you tried using a heat gun to heat the upper rear quarter and then wrap the top in tape? I say tape as it is generally stronger than a sarin wrap and you can crank it really hard around your leg to pull the boot inwards. However a degree of caution here, if you pronate and you pull the top edge of the boot close to your leg it may start to dig in, I've seen this a number of times, even the comfort edge doesn't stop it.

Local hockey shop. You'll need to try the boots back on after they punch the area to make sure they are good. You'll also need to pinpoint where on the boot the bump is hitting so they can punch the right area.

In terms of warmth, long johns, wool socks, hoodie and jersey, hat or ear muffs. I also use ski glove liners if it's really cold. Possibly sunglasses. For protection, shins, gloves, cup and maybe helmet depending on tourney. That's what I do, some might wear more
