Over the past two years since I started playing again I have replaced some needed gear so I get into it when deciding on what I need and then I am good. I tend to still browse a lot of gloves because pro stock stuff have some cool patterns but for now I just have a pair of Nexus for playing and the same pair for coaching.

Can’t inconvenience some people with science and math...

Update- all non-essentials business in PA now ORDERED to close, so that would take care of any lingering high-stakes men's leagues.

Yeah, you need to keep some essential services open. Wa Post had a good article with 4 simulations showing the curves for no action, isolating a single high-event community, 1/4 population remaining in public, and 1/8 of the population remaining in public. It was interesting. But yeah, might make sense to go to the store when you need to as early as it opens as possible.

Sounds cool. We worked with a product design company who was developing a new lacrosse stick for a manufacturer and had an area with like 30 high-speed cameras set up. It was amazing what they could capture from all those angles.

The closure will need to be much more than 2 weeks. Given the latency between exposure and onset of symptoms and the rate of infection in addition to lack of widespread testing, it's a months thing vs. weeks. Allegheny County (Pgh and surrounding area) just shut down all bars and restaurants and urged non-essential businesses to close for 2 weeks as of today. Edit- clarified the details of county shutdown

As of last night, yeah, they cancelled all youth programs, not shut down the rink. Had to reread the e-mail. Could be the motivation was misguided or even noble, just going off the scuttlebutt around the rink and the crazy stick times that were added.

The main rink just closed. I think he was trying to squeeze money out of the situation because hours before they sent out an email with tons of stick times every day. Insurance or lawyers probably corrected that...

Pretty much the pinnacle of the sweet spot! Congratulations, she’s beautiful!

Rinks that we do stuff in still open. As of now we have practice tonight. The schools all just called it, can't imagine hockey won't be next, it is the last thing we are involved with that hasn't.

That sucks, thought it might be a new version of Peranis buying older gear. Got suspicious when everything I looked at had every size/config/color listed like it was in stock.

I had those Coopers too, I think you adjusted that chest plate to different preset sizes.

My only caveat to being on the ice, make sure you can be safe. Kids that age get behind you, slide on the ice, etc. You need to be on alert and able to protect yourself (and don't want to fall on the kids!). I have been playing my whole life and 10 minutes into my first mite practice I was helping a kid and he lost his balance and went down so fast I couldn't react. His stick came up and got me right above the eye. Not bad, but bloody which freaked him out and a fraction of an inch from my eye.

Anything off ice they need? I can’t imagine someone willing to help organize practically any aspect of an org would be turned away.

I had the fill-length Douglas through high-school, loved those things! My buddy had Donzis.

Me three!

The article is only about the football testing. Here is their what i assume initial publication, which talks about how they specifically test hockey helmets. Again, lots can be debated, but assertions and critiques must be factually correct. https://kstp.com/kstpImages/repository/cs/files/ABME 2015 Hocky STAR Rowson Rowson Duma.pdf

So, when they describe how they added rotational components to their protocol and explain their methodology, they are lying? We can argue about whether there are better methods, but at least be factually correct because from what I read in their protocol, there are 4 impact locations, delivered at 3 different energy levels, and they measure both linear and rotational acceleration. What am I missing?

That is cool, I remember painting layer after layer of ProtecToe on new skates though.

My only other comment as someone who has these issues is as mine has come and gone, it never cleared up quickly. Even after relieving the pressure on a nerve, it seems like it takes a while for the nerve to "settle down", so give it some time. I was always 100% compliant on PT so don't skimp there either.

No, Blademaster I think.

Ugg, my only chance to get to Pure for sharpening today...45 minutes to do my son’s skates. Didnt have the time to wait. Will have to chance it that the rink sharpener is open before his game tomorrow and that someone competent is manning the machine!! going to be a long wait before I get a Sparx...

Interesting...

Why would you laugh at that?

Could be. But maybe they did test it in gameplay.
