  1. Moving in tomorrow :D Frosh week after :D
  2. Player : 5'9" 130 lbs Skates : Easton S15 8.5 W Size : D (7-8) Overview: One product in a whole line of supportive footbeds by Superfeet, the Yellow version was made specifically for skates. This product, first and foremost, is not designed ot be an arch support, but rather, a heel support product. Although there is an arch structure built in, it is designed to allow your foot to assume a more natural position for better energy transfer and you will notice that it is placed a bit further back than where most arches in feet are. Superfeet is designed to help reduce or eliminate pronation and supination, or the torquing of the leg. By adding support for your heel, Superfeet is supposed to optimize the position of your foot so that with every push/stride, the energy is transfered to the skate more and not lost in pronation/supination. Better comfort and performance should thus result. Fit: Perfectly fitted and trimmed. Easy to slide into the skate and for the duration of the skate, the footbed stays in place as expected. Noticed that it because a bit loose after I took the skates off, but is a non-issue. As long as you are properly fitted for Superfeet (see : http://www.modsquadh...izing-question/ ) this should be a 10. 9.5/10 Comfort: While walking around with Superfeet in or even standing in place with them, I noticed discomfort on my arch with the irritation shooting into my leg. This is absolutely expected as the force of every step is transferred directly through the footbed and into the skate. Once skating however, this becomes non-existent simply due to the different motions. A minor annoyance you might find going to and from the dressing room but let's face it; you're not going to be walking on ice 9/10 Performance: Simply put, this is perhaps the best gear related purchase I have ever made; next to my skates. The benefits of Superfeet might vary from person to person and as such for me; I could safely say that it has significantly improved my skating and agility. Since the heel is supported and my heel/foot no longer slips around slightly in the boot; every stride and push is transferred directly to the skate. I noticed that I fall down and lose my edges less while I go down putting all weight on one leg for example. Significant improvement in edge control while doing pivots, backwards crossovers and sharp turns. This product has literally improved my skating 10/10 Final thoughts: I would recommend this product to anyone above the beginner skater level and while it will improve your support; its effects may not be as drastic compared to mine. Make sure that you are fitted properly when purchasing. You should rebake your skates with Superfeet in them as it changes the position of your arch slightly and lifts up your heel a bit as well. just make sure that they do not go into the oven with the skates. Phenomenal product. edit : Hockey World Blog has been kind enough to credit this review to their own! It seems that Matt (if you're reading this, thanks!) had a great experience with them too : http://www.hockeywor...-yellow-review/
  3. Had some moving company pickup truck speed past us last night. We were doing 40 on a 40 road... in our own residential neighborhood by the way, so forgive me for doing the speed limit. Was so angry that I stopped and let him know exactly who lives here, don't effin' speed in MY neighborhood, where kids play in road hockey in their driveways and families take walks to the park! Sad thing is, there was an accident in a previous stretch of that road with fatalities involving a vehicle. I saw EMS cordon off that house a few days ago and bouquets of flowers and teddy bears underneath the lamppost... These people are despicable, if you want to speed, do it elsewhere with no one around. Don't endanger the innocents around you.
  4. Keep going, and give it more time; learn to enjoy the little things in life again :D
  5. Are the Sedin gloves 14 or 13"? Nice Luxes btw :)
  6. haha we had a lighting failure at our rink once in the middle of shinny, it felt so surreal playing in near darkness great to get back into the community :)
  7. :) Alcohol doesn't help with anything, that much I know
  8. Stay strong bud, even though it doesn't look it right now, there is that light at the end of the tunnel :) If there ever is some sort of afterlife, or a place where memories and consciences exist after passing; they will be forever grateful for all that you've given. You're a good person dude, I don't know you but I can say that for sure.
  9. Which player? Or were they just a trial pair?
  10. is the goalie gear yours (as in, do you play goal often)? It looks great btw good editing work. How do you like the Woodrow?
  11. I'm not saying that it doesn't have an effect or what have you, but imo it definitely isn't worth the $25+tax that it costs. If you factor in the time for application and re-application, a lot of the 'effects' you might notice could even be placebo.
  12. Screw them, they just can't appreciate good gear :P
  13. Good calls bud :) Saw ADTR twice now, the Warped gig was a dangerous mass of shifting human sweat, bodies and feet
  14. Just came back from Warped Tour...one of the best days of my life
  15. Haters gonna hate bro, great creation btw :) A white shell with blue inserts just won't work as well in my mind
  16. Great job bigdmac, we're proud of you Just curious though and I apologize if this seems insensitive, but how did you classify him as 'dead' before? Was it just no vitals or did you include brain activity into that as well?
  17. That's just policy/protocol I think. We'd rather tell you 24 hrs to be completely safe than to be blamed for when things go wrong post-baking had you not taken our advice/we had not given you advice.
  18. Although it's not something we'd normally tell customers, it could work in theory imo.
  19. Yessir, looking damn right forward to it. Cheers
  20. Every single bolded line...I went through the same my friend. Don't think posting here is the best idea, but I'll do it anyways. You're not alone bud, if anything shoot me a PM and we can talk :) I was depressed this year too, I didn't have her and I didn't have hockey. Found out she kept jumping from relationship to relationship with other guys (none of which would ever treat her as well as I did, that much I take solace in) trying to fill a void. I felt used by her, I gave her so much and I felt that she didn't give back anything in return, I was just a plaything to her. I turned to alcohol and self harm. After a whole year of no communication (see the problem?) we finally sat down and talked. She told me what I needed to hear, that I was the only person she ever allowed completely into her life, her darkest and deepest. Real and true love at 16 gentlemen? It exists. I found out she almost went through attempted suicide one night after the breakup. I knew that she had some kind of emotional depression in her genetics and I found out from her that she has been going to professional therapy and taking anti-depressants all this time. Both of us were really fu**ed up this year, but she more than I. Maybe there will be one day where the guilt becomes too much for me, but ultimately I want her to be happy and I know that once she leaves that house-that-is-not-a-home and goes off to university in the fall, I will be relieved. Basically man, I know you have the strength to move on, maybe a change of scenery will help. And from this, also be grateful that she is safe and happy I have an unconventional method for you. Listen to music, it can be therapeutic. Please do me a favor and listen to Go Radio Stay strong bro. Chin up cause it's all gonna clear up.
  21. That's amazing. My friend who originally had 2 and a half years left due to kidney cancer now has an additional 7 or so thanks to a donor.
