When I did my ref seminar I noticed every time I bent over to pick up a puck I had a line of sweat right down the middle of my visor. I don't know why I didn't put my no sweats in that helmet.

You won't even know its there. It's REALLY thin. It's not like its a sweatband or anything like that.

Get some No-Sweats. Amazing.

The amount of junk calls and emails I get when I use sites like that is astonishing. Sure, I'd love to do a 3 month contract on the other side of the continent for half what I'm making now, absolutely! I'm a firm believer that real jobs aren't found on Monster/Dice/etc (at least not in the IT world). New vent: Just bought my goalie mask from IW yesterday afternoon, and now they just sent me an email with their Labor Day 20% promo code. Dammit, guys!

Where are you located?

Ouch.

They're all listed as Buy It Now, so same price as on here except $5 extra for shipping on eBay.

No need, all the same items are already available in this thread. Heh UPS wouldn't even take sticks wrapped in bubble wrap. They wanted $80 per stick to ship. USPS on the other hand took the bubble wrapped sticks happily for $7/ea

Links for?

Well I tried my first game without my neoprene sleeve on my ankle in probably a year. No luck, still mako bumps. Oh well, I'll just keep wearing the sleeve I guess. It's no hassle, I just wanted to try.

I don't care for them, but thank you for posting so I know that I don't care for them ;)

Bauer 4-Roll Elite and Bauer x:60 pro gloves both sold on eBay.

I barely even snug the laces, there's almost no need with such fantastic foot wrap with these boots. YMMV, though.

New Doctor Who!

Dear lord that was so much harder than I was expecting. The skating backwards (which I already can't really do) around all the circles was brutal. I almost bailed out at that point, but stuck around. Little things like dropping the puck are so much more difficult than they appear. At least I did well on the game scenarios (icing and off-sides). I asked the guy if my skating is going to screw me, and he's like "No, you're a level 1, you're here to find out what you need to work on. Don't worry about it!" Already passed the online exam the other day, and completed the online level 1 curriculum last night. Just have to do that god awful Safe Sport stuff and I'm done.

At my first officials seminar. Pretty cool so far. Shane Heyer is here and apparently lives right near me.

Listed all the gloves on eBay. I really need to clear this stuff out.

Here's me demonstrating a poor hockey stance and stride.

Amazing dude, that's awesome.

.. are you an NHL ref? Or was this a camp, or what? DETAILS!

RBK 16K pants added.

EQ50, Tron stick and penguins WC socks all gone as well. I know somebody out there needs some nice new-ish gloves for the new season! :)

Couple items sold. BUMP for plenty of good deals left!

Had some great news last night. Apparently the league director has a whole bunch of guys in his beginner classes that want to make the jump to league play this fall, but many of them do not want to play in our D6 because we have a lot of guys who could probably easily keep up on a D4 team. So he's decided to make the minimum level for ALL experienced players to be Div 5, and you aren't allowed in D6 unless you have less than 5 years experience. Period. So he basically submitted a list of players from every team that have to move up. This is awesome for many reasons. First, my name was on the list. While I appreciate the compliment, I think I'll be staying down. I meet the criteria (only been playing for 3 years) and am definitely not good enough to go up. Or maybe I should move up anyway since playing with complete noobs is not going to make me a better player (no offense to the noobs!). Its kind of irrelevant since I don't plan on playing there anymore anyway, though. Second, it obviously means the new guys just starting to learn to play have a safe place to play without getting stripped of the puck every two seconds by the D4 guys playing two levels down. This doesn't affect me I guess, but still a good thing for the league. Finally, our current teams goalie is VERY new to the position. He's been playing for only a year (and has gotten pretty decent in that time). But he's not good enough to move up, but that's where all his friends are going to be now. Turns out, he lives a whole hell of a lot closer to the new Carlsbad rink opening up and was totally interested in playing there. I told him I was trying to get a team together, and he said he'd be down for that depending on details. So... we may have a goalie!
