blueliner27 - I am using an AK27 Shaft with a CNT blade. Its nice! I will be using this combo for a while!!! pantherfan - I am doing ok! Its hard to adjust ova here! I feel like i am learning the game all ova again. Its NOTHING like the Uk. Its much more intense, the tempo of the game is faster and the hits are hard and heavey. I have seen a few JR A games...... There unreal! I was playing with a few CHL'ers and DUB(WHL)Players and it was an eye opener. It really showed me how good you need to be to make it ova here. But i am taking it in my stride and really enjoying it. Going on the ice everyday is really improving my game rapidly. If your serious about hockey i suggest you get ova here if u can. P.S Tell Trainor, Chay and Liam i said hi!
