    Hey, has anyone seen any new drills or systems pop up in the past few months that they love? Going to try to keep things interesting as always. Definitely love drills that force the kids to compete against each other.

    I was helping out at a learn to skate program, one of the dads was surprised I didn't wear a helmet. I'd never had an issue in the 8 years of coaching or so. Sure enough, I skate out onto the ice and a kid slides behind me and I bounce my head off the ice. I've been wearing a helmet and a large visor ever since.

    The people over at All About The Jersey are loving it.
  4. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Hahaha! That's awesome! Congrats! Have you notice any improvement in you skating based on unlacing?
  5. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Usually a bloodbath, right? Looking forward to this rivalry.

    Devils may steal a game or two if Vasilevskiy is still cold and Kinkaid is still running hot. But they got crushed in the run of play the first two meetings of the season and barely nudged past breaking even in the third. Out of all the series, I'm finding this one the hardest to judge. Just excited the Devils made the playoffs and Hall's playoff drought has ended.

    Thanks! It was an unreal experience. So proud of the kids! And good luck to your kids! That's why I enjoy being an assistant on varsity and then coaching JV. I get to work mostly with the players and their development and don't really have to deal with any of the politics involved. But I'm sure high school hockey is a different animal than travel.

    I've been coaching high school hockey for ten years (just won our first state championship!) I also work with the youth program teaching kids ages three-and-up how to ice skate and play hockey. This forum's a great idea! I love it and balancing skill work, systems and just overall player development on and off the ice. The psychological aspect to coaching is something I hope comes in use if I ever become a parent haha.

    This is the problem I had. I would get EE Vapors, but then I'd get heel lift. Ended up going the custom route on APX's and it's been pure bliss since.
  10. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Is that even possible with the new injected molding lacing? I thought some of the customization options with eyelets went away with the introduction of that.

    What a jump! Probably some of the most progress we've seen yet! I'm trying to put my thumb on it, maybe you're stepping over more so than driving the legs under? Definitely make sure you're keeping the butt down, knees bent, chest up, especially transitioning forwards to backwards or vice versa. It's great to see you pushing yourself outside your comfort zone. Your first steps are great, you're really getting the feet moving and shifting your weight well, just stay low when you switch directions. When you fell, it looks like it was a matter of leaning and having your center of gravity off.

    If she's determined, ask if she can sit in the penalty box or on the bench with a helmet. That's what I do when I'm injured and can't play.
  13. MyBoxersSayJoe
    I was bummed I didn't buy more the first time I saw them sell out. Saw more come up and bought a bundle. This'll probably last me three years haha.

    Two 55 Flex, 4 65 flex. Covert QR1's dressed as Dynasty HD1's.

    Love this show. Love the amount of hockey lingo and terminology that's thrown around so seamlessly.
  16. MyBoxersSayJoe

    Howdy!  Just wanted to check in and see how the hockey is going!

  17. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Same here, some cateyes, but that's about it.
  18. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Maybe it's all the sales, but I've definitely seen an uptick of Grafs on mens league players over the past couple of months. Everything from traditional 707's to the newer lines.
  19. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Yeah, I think Larsson is severely underrated being that he's on the Devils and their struggle's been not scoring enough despite solid D. Larsson's coming into his own, he's got an excellent contract. Definitely going to miss him here in NJ. Hope he doesn't take the brunt of being the reason Hall was traded in Edmonton.
  20. MyBoxersSayJoe
    I made the same jump. X60 Pros to APX2 Pros. Much different palm, more protection.
  21. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Do a search for blacking out skates on here. I think most people prefer to go to Bic Markit route.
  22. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Wow. Wow...loved my Graf 703's but they fell behind the skate tech in the early to mid-2000's.
  23. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Good luck hope you make it as well! Just won gold at a CAN/AM tournament in Atlantic City this weekend. We went 3-0-1. First time in five years of doing this. I'm in the front, to the right of the goalie and left of the banner.
  24. MyBoxersSayJoe
    Looking a lot smoother and stable! Haha, chk hrd, try telling Mike Peluso there's no crying in hockey. (I get the league of their own reference)
  25. MyBoxersSayJoe
    The PlayRite system looks like it'll be a hit. Very smart move. Seeing the Rekker 60 senior in a 65 flex could be interesting to try when I get through my current sticks. I'm at that awkward inbetween intermediate and senior size and strength.
