Those palms are digital right?

I don't actually know much about different palms so I couldn't say. Here's a close up of the palms if you can tell from that.

[Un-Written Rules of Hockey]

Don't show up to open hockey without a helmet.

One guy did that the other night, and skated the whole time with no helmet. We couldn't believe someone actually did that, one of the guys asked him and he said he forgot it. I was really hoping he would get kicked off the ice, but it was late and the only person left working there wasn't paying any attention.

Question: how much do you think this sharpening would benefit a beginner player? I've only been playing a few months and I'm still not a great skater - solid going forwards and stopping, not so great going backwards or with fast changes of direction. Would it not do much because I'm not a good enough skater to really use my edges well, or would the extra speed give me some benefit?

I'd wait to change, get more used to the regular edges and later get FBV.

Start driving your mom's 1986 Corolla before you step up to your dad's Porsche.

While I agree with the second statement I dont see how well it stands up as an analogy.

Learning to skate and using your edges is a lot easier when you don't add additional speed to the mix. I've seen plenty of guys, in coaching, that get going fast and go in hard to the boards because they can't turn or stop... Let's add some extra speed to that, great.

I hadn't thought of that, good point. I don't have that problem now, but I can definitely see myself doing that if I was going faster. I'll hold off on it for now.

Blind in one eye already....the cage is staying on ;)

That's rough :(

What about one of the visor/cage combos? Do they even make those with tinted visors? That would be quite a unique look :lol:

Haha...thanks.

They do have tarps but they don't come down far enough. I wish they would address that. Either that or stop giving us 6pm games. 2 out of 10 games at 6pm is 2 too many.

What about a tinted visor?

14", very snugg fit.

I would have thought they'd actually be smaller than that, considering how tiny he is. Thanks.

What size gloves are they?

Woah, that is quite the collection. Just curious, what brand is the glove in the third row, second from the right?

bought a mission intake fusion. who else here uses different size cages and bucket? i wear L sized helmets but had to go down to a M cage for it to fit correctly.

I also have a large intake and I have a medium 9500 cage on it. This is my first foray into hockey so I have no idea if it's common but DarkStar fitted me for all my gear and he knows what he's doing :)
