I'm an American and I'm pretty sure I get it. Rural Ontario seems a lot like Up North Wisconsin. Skids, Farmers and hockey players. But I gotta say, we don't have any Bonnie McMurray's. The show is great and all the characters are likable on some level. I like how all the groups have their dust-ups with each other, but they don't hate. Like the episode where the skid gets out of rehab and gets in trouble in Toronto. Wayne Daryl , Squirelly Dan and Miss Katy don't hesitate to go back him up and throw hands. I really like the show.

Pretty sweet wheels for a little guy(or girl)! I hope they like them. If they liked the Ribcores. at least you know they will be comfortable. Good job, Dad.

I call those unbaked internet skates "Mail Order Brides". :D People send away for them thinking they're getting the hockey equivalent of a hot nympho chick in a thong, then when the box shows up on their doorstep, They're often stuck with a fugly, painful mismatch and don't know what to do or how to fix it. Just like a mail order bride....or so I've heard :D

I don't think I would or could ever ask my LHS owner if he would help me bake internet skates. It seems like an insult to their local investment and expertise. It would be like my fat neighbor asking to use my bathroom because he didn't want to stink up his own house.

This is why its never a bad idea to own at least one pair of backup skates. At least that's what I tell myself.

Interesting. I have a buddy who is also a very busy "zebra" who works a ton of games and he's still rocking a pair of 501's. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Onte unwritten rule should be no "cliques" which is just a two man version of puck hogging. We have these two guys who won't get on the ice unless they are both on the same team and playing forward together and THEN they will only pass to each other. I could be coming right down the slot with an open net and the guy would still pass it to his buddy behind the net for a give and go. Sheesh.
-
One unwritten rule I try to follow is if a guy is going full tilt to pick up a puck on the boards I will not touch him in that zone of a few stick lengths away from the boards, especially if he lacks balance or experience. In open ice, a little shove or jockeying for position is fine, but some of the worst and most tragic injuries I've seen in no-check come from just a little non-malicious push that knocks a guy off his edges or a stick tap to his skates that sends him crashing full speed into the boards.
-
I'm with you 100%. It takes all 5 guys to play winning hockey. If you are too tired to backcheck, get off. If you are too lazy to backcheck, play tennis. cherry picking and stretch plays are only for specific situations like powerplays and last gasp comebacks.

Here's a classic & rare pair I really loved back in the day. I don't use them except for pond hockey and alumni games, But if you love the history and tradition of great gear, they are a nice blast from the past. Dang. I meant to post the pic in the Show it off thread. Just goes to show you, these skates were so tough they lasted longer than my cerebral cortex.
-
What size are the skates? I might be able to help you thin the herd :D
-
Yeah. I wonder why they changed that feature? It gives people different options which is nice with the price of todays gear.

What is the lie on the blade on the far left hand? I want one! That is quite a few sticks. Addictive isn't it?
