    If it felt easy then you didn't challenge or push yourself.

    Disagree. There are plenty of ways to burn calories... It's not so much "easy" as just not enduring it. Kinda like hockey, burn a chitton of calories and it's fun, doesn't mean it's easy, just something that you're not focusing on the fact that you're exercising. Need to find things like that.

    Some people love to run, it's not my bag. I run to train, but it's work. When I get on the bike, it's fun, like hockey.... I can do a monster climb, roadie or MTB & it's challenge, not means to an end.

    Played p/u last night against a clearly superior bunch of hockey players. While they were tolerant of us slower skaters they basically practiced around us. It was awesome. The snow was falling, the lights seemed just right, the ice was fine and I got to play hockey. I feel like playing over your head, while physically imposing, is a great way to improve. I was always pushing hard. Very cool.

    Wish I had the balls to do this.... My son has some regular skates he goes to & always pushes me to join him & I cannot get past the fact that I'll be a pylon out there. Know it would be good for my game & great exercise(sort of my always second bonus, better than a run, treadmill or elliptical), but I worry so much, just can't get myself to go lace um up....

    You guys and gals look sharp! And these kids are awesome! Way to go EJB and your daughter. Do you think she got there mostly from working on her technical skills or just a natural? The other girls must be bigger but are they faster than her? I never played as a kid and we don't have any kids so not sure the difference in 9 and 13 yo girl hockey players..

    I only play shinny and drop-in with friends - I was going to post pics but after starting to type this I realized I don't have any ready for upload anywhere. I'll get back to that...

    Thank you. She has been blessed with size(she’s almost 5’ tall), athletic ability and a very high competitive drive, which is a huge asset and headache. She works really hard, gets a lot of ice time and is a GREAT athlete. She also retains and implements instruction well. Anyway, all of the above has afforded her the ability to compete at a high level in every sport she plays.

    Sweet Spot, I get coaching from my son. Funny, I talk about S&P above, but go out with the pups & my son breaks down my skating and tells me(in his way, he's really gentle), do this! He works me, my legs are still a little fatigued. Added bonus, he works my daughter, but she has a harder time thinking she can learn from him.... Sibling $hit...

    5 goals, couple assists & a PeeWee Championship banner.... Not a bad weekend for my 9 year old.

    Funny, I look at the pic and see she has started to tape her shins. I don't go in the locker room anymore or have her come out, she ties her own skates and apparently, now is taping her shins... Funny, kids just figure things out. She tapes her own stick as well(blade, I do her handle).

    Sat in the PB for 11 of the 13M of the 3rd in my game last night.

    Pinching on D, puck pops to blue line, I start busting back and as I am going by a guy, he grabs me/holds me up. Ref sees it(I assume, because he went into the box for holding), but no whistle(they have possession of puck). As I'm struggling trying to get by, I give him a nice little whack. He then gives me a nice push/punch, I return the favor, whistles. No big deal, we head to the box.

    At this point, I'm assuming he's just going for the push/punch(there was no whistle early). So as I'm skating, I'm saying "Guy's holding me the entire time down the ice." Mind you, not yelling, being demonstrative with my arms....just shaking my head, skating to the box and talking. Ref tells me to "Shut up and get in the box." I turn(gliding backwards, still going to the box) and say, "I can't talk?" and he gives me an unsportsmanlike.

    The vent is just putting myself in the box for the entire 3rd, it's missing a ton of time due to my pride....nothing good comes from testing a refs tipping point, even when benign. Just couldn't swallow being told to shut up.....


    If you're struggling to figure out 11 of 13, I'm not 100% sure either.... Could have been 10 of 12, 12 of 14, but I'm pretty confident on 11 of 13. Think double minors and the unsportsmanlike, but? (minors are 1:30) At that point they told me I could come out at 2:00 and a whistle and I didn't say a word. Took off my gloves, helmet and watched the game.
