That's funny. Need to do a poll, just to see. I assumed I was quick with every week/10 days. Know more than enough that go a month or the season.

No problem with it getting dry. i laughed with the wash... I don't wash my chit after every skate anyway, hell, if it gets a wash every 3-4 skates, doing well.

Had a Sunday/Monday skate, able to keep our gear in the lockerroom. Today after the skate, did a potluck outside the rink, visited, had food and some drinks. Stinking AWESOME two days.

^^^ Went to the full cage. How are you liking the Jetspeeds? Did you come from Supremes, thoughts between the two?

The young pup took more hardware home today. 4 games, 1 goal allowed(crappy, because she had a great diving save, but a kid cleaned up the rebound), Champions.

So I've said it before, but I cannot express to you cats the enjoyment I get from my Sunday skate with the boy. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to compete(I use that word loosely) with your kid, you're winning. I look forward to it every week, it's awesome, pre skate lockerroom, skate, post game lockerroom(I have beers, no go for him)...,it's something words cannot grasp. I'm a fortunate dad. I hope I can do this with my daughter at some point as well.

Two nights, two teams, two 1 goal wins... I'll take it! Now having a bourbon and coke and savoring victories & starting a 4 day weekend.

Couple from this week of the pups. The Little one playing in the Summer Middle School league, big one playing in Summer D1. GOAL...her second of the game.

Played 2 hours of drop in this morning with my son. Great way to start Fathers Day! We assisted each other on goals(not often I score, it's a pretty fast skate for me) & I had another that was probably the best I've had at this skate(playing about a year with these guys). Added bonus, the Little Man picked up the tab! Spent the previous 2 days at a friends cabin and on the lake(unfortunatly, first time I had the boat out this year) wake boarding, surfing, drinking around the campfire. Been a fine weekend. Happy Fathers Day, boys!

Did you read the refs report? I'd ask for it. It would be interesting to see what they wrote down. Add, if you didn't and the league is USA Hockey sanctioned, make sure you double up with their insurance.

Tonight was the start of the Middle School Summer Hockey League. With the success of the HS League, they started a MS league a few years ago. Teams affiliate with the HS in their MS district. Eligible kids are going into 6th-7th-8th grade. It it was our first ever skate with these kids(daughter is going into 6th next year). Lost by a goal, but proud of my pup, who netted one, had a few other opportunities and late in the 1 goal game was put out on the PP line for the last 1:30 or so.

^^^Sending positive JuJu for finding a job you love @ the same or higher salary!

He referenced a television show that was around about 10 years ago and though around like 7 years, I never considered it popular. Side note, how I took his comment was that it's not the league, but the player. There are players that are going to do questionable stuff at every level & continue do it, regardless of the level they are in. I'll add that I think a lot of this stuff is related to who runs the league. In my experience, Rookie League is the least chippy of any of the leagues we have here. In fact, I'm not even sure it's close. I'm also under the impression that the guy that runs both the Rookie and D4 League here doesn't put up with much. That is not limited to boorish behavior(unruly physical play, verbal abuse of the refs ect), but the player that appears to be playing on a team/league far below their ability level and making that very clear on the ice.

Nice, not often you get a Wings reference.

Congrats to her and to you, good stuff!

Dental pain/issues are no friend. I have had a pretty good run, but for no rhyme or reason, I've been crushed the past 8 days. Debilitating pain, like laying in bed wanting to pull my tooth with pliers. WTF, I was just in for my 6 M checkup & given clean bill of health. BOOM, Antibotics and IBU(dumped me a bunch of junk, I'm good with IBU) have moved me to today. That said, got my first needed dose of Antibotics. Jinxed myself like 2 weeks ago saying, I'm 46 and never had to take an antibiotic. (Apparently my descent into decrepitude is jumping). Strange, my pain is more with infection pressure, than actual tooth pain now.

2-2.....got one at the Utes game tonight!

Bailed out of work to meet my daughter at the ballgame(our AAA Angels affiliate) for her schools ballpark day. Don't mind if we get a foul ball!

Sent the young pup & mom to Chicago for a tournament, played 9 holes in men's league, took tomorrow off and now having beers watching playoff hockey. Though I'd like to be in the Windy City, I'm going to get some chit done & bonus, skating with my son Sunday.

JetSpeed 290's. Thanks!

^^^ That's her deal. She's actually a 10U('05), tapes her own stick(too often for my liking, starting to get funky with her multicolor junk) for about year, picks her laces and been tying her skates for 3 years.... A different cat for sure, but a player, I let her do what she wants, it's her World....I just pay for it. You're right though & she's targeted regularly. Though, in reality, that would be happening regardless.

The Little One took the ice with the newly formed West Coast Lady Renegades for a practice game against a local boys team, in preparation for the Chi-Town Shuffle next week. They competed well, losing 3-1, but it was closer than that. GOAL!!!

Best dressed guy in the league. Those gloves are perfect.

Expected delivery late 2017....that's a LONG WAIT.

Finally, been a while since I needed new skates, just wanted to wait to see if paying extra for the new S series of Supreme skates was worth it or pick up some discounted older model. Any longer on the steel on those One100's and they would have started to sharpen the holders...
