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.

Kor Shift 2's

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.

Something old and something new:

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?

Some mitts:

They are the original 709 model. As you probably know, the 709's all have that rectangular leather strip that juts down the side of the ankles. Well originally, they had a functional purpose. The stiffeners slide into those Leather pockets. I like them without the stiffeners, but maybe I'll put them in down the road if I notice any breakdown. Back in the day, My Dad would take our boots to the luggage repair shop or a saddle maker and get the ankles stitched up to stiffen them, LOL. hard to believe we skated on those flapjacks. Sometime I'll post a picture of my Dad's gear. you'll flip. Kangaroo skin Canadian Cycle and Motor Works Tackaberry skates and Stall & Dean Puckmaster gloves. Ahh, Hockey is the best thing ever.
-
Yep. I've been wearing them without the stiffeners. They feel just right that way. My rink has the coldest ice in the state and in the past, my toes would border on frostbite, but I've noticed that with these skates (wide width)my toes don't lose circulation and the frostbite pain I experience in the lockerroom from regaining the circulation is gone. Ahhhhhh....nice. Must be a combo of the deep boot not digging into my instep, the felt tounges I'll always prefer and the wide width not pinching my forefoot.
