Weird photo of my legs but only one I got of these... I wanted to try a tighter fitting glove so I got these when they were on sale for about $30. They are the most comfortable glove I have ever worn and the protection seems top notch with either plastic or very hard foams all throughout the backhand and finger protection of the glove. Very impressed. A few weird design choices but I am very happy with the purchase nonetheless. Sherwood N10, I believe they are the same as the Rekker EK9.

We just lost to 5 players. We had a full bench. 2 of the players tonight play Junior B hockey (level 1 lower than OHL). That team normally has 3 Junior B players (one of which has Ice Dogs stuff as I am pretty sure he has been a call up) in Division 4 out of 4. We have players that played house league their whole lives or started a few years ago. Our best is a guy who player AAA 10 years ago. Every shift they want to score they do. But they then don't try and just pass the puck around for entire time they are on the ice. But a bunch of my teammates are okay with it because "it was close" but they fail to understand that if we get within 1 or 2 goals they are just going to score another the next shift they decide to put effort in. It is ridiculous, I never care about winning and would rather lose every game and have a good battle than win every one by 5. Evidently it takes nothing to piss me off as I am furious and pissed. No one will bitch and complain because that takes effort in writing an email. They serious take the fun out of adult hockey. One of the players also took a shot from the blue line that I caught 3 feet over my head. I am 6'5 on skates... the game was already over at that point and his shot broke 2 players stick that game already and left a welt on another players leg after he took a snap shot right at him.

Except when the other team runs 3 lines and you lose all your energy. But I do agree with you. I let in 13 (or 14 can't remember) goals against tonight! 6 in the top division (Div 1) and 7 in the bottom division (Div 4)... big difference in quality of play there!

I know the feeling. I played on a bunch of individual's teams and they were basically like this. The team I am on now is the bottom division but they seem semi competent when it comes to figuring out lines (at least I think as I am defence and don't have to deal with that).

Man, how can people be so incompetent. Sounds like someone else has to step up and say "who gives a shit, random lines at the beginning and have fun"

Why do Ex-OHLers and current OHLers decide that they should play in Division 4 summer hockey? Shouldn't they be in the top division with the University players and other pros/semi-pros? Does scoring 4 goals and having 7 points in a 7 goal game on a bunch of guys who never played anywhere of merit make you feel like you accomplished something? The goalie you scored on was 5'2 and a female (no offence but it does matter). Not only that, but it was 5-1... why did you need to score again 2 more times?

Well looks like a bunch of posts were lost here... and I got new gloves again so I figured I'd post them! Got these Simmons gloves a few weeks ago. I always hear people say amazing things about Simmons equipment so I figured I'd try them out and see if they are worth the hype. First thing I noticed, considering the blocker is basically a clone of the Vaughn blocker, the quality and protection of the Simmons blocker is no where close to the Vaughn glove. Just received these Vaughn gloves and figured I'd get a picture of my new CCM Extreme Flex Pro glove as well.

I know the Reactor is a softer boot than the Supreme line. The Supreme is more like the Bauer Pro model and the Reactors are similar to the old One100 model.
