Interesting. Maybe it's just for looks.He wears his shin pads under the tongue, but maybe wants the shin pad over the tongue look. Here's an older picture with the tongue going above the top of the boot.

Pitch adjustment is the whole blade's profile getting angled, so you could have a 9/10 blade with +1 pitch or 9/10 blade with -1 pitch adjustment. Imagine if there was a thin piece of wood put on the heels of your skate boot, and then someone attached the blade holders, that would be positive or aggressive pitch adjusment. If someone put a thin piece of wood on the forefoot area on the bottom of the skate boot and then attached the blade holders, that would be negative pitch. The front half is still 9' profile and the back half is still 10' profile. Or you can tell your sharpener how your skates feel and how he or she would adjust the pitch.

If you feel like you are getting pushed forward and tripping over your skates, you would want negative pitch. If you feel like you are getting pushed backwards and can't hold a deep forward tuck like a speed skater, then you would want positive pitch. If you feel balanced, but want to make deeper/faster turns and doing choppy/quick east-west skating, then you will want the front profiles shorter. If you want to glide longer for efficient north-south skating, you want long rear profiles. Sometimes, you can keep your current profile and alter the ROH, radius of hollow, for more glide or grip in hard turns/stops as an easier way to adjust for harder or softer ice.

Pants usually go by waist circumference, weight and height. This is the bauer pants size chart. If you are in the 'between size's zone, go with the small and risk a shot between the shin guard and bottom of the pants. Or go with a medium for a loose fit and wear suspenders to have it pulled up as high as comfortably possible. Or, you can try to look for a hockey girdle and a shell to go over it..

Wow.

I've saw a ref get hit by a ricochet of a slap shot off someone's stick and right at his cup. No time to get out of the way or block it. This was a NCAA Div III men's game so it was a major clap bomb. He actually was able to get up and finish the game. Yeah, I'm four weeks out, but there are certain angles where I have no strength in my arm yet, so I wear my sling when I''m out of the house, but i don't wear it anymore when I'm in the house. God luck with your surgery.

Intermediate sizing is kind of like senior but short in length so they will be wide. I wear Bauer intermediate 13's because senior 14s are too long. I guess I would recommend getting the lower-end intermediate shin pads so there will be less padding/bulk/depth than the higher-end intermediate shin pads.

So, I got total shoulder replacement surgery a month ago, at the end of December. I got a modified procedure called the "ream and run shoulder replacement". It is similar to a regular total shoulder replacement. The ball end side of the humerus (upper arm bone) is cut off and a titanium stem is put inside it. But on the shoulder or glenoid side, they shave out a hemisphere shape out of the bone instead of putting a plastic piece there. The plus is that there are no restrictions of physical activity after the shoulder heals. In a normal total shoulder replacement, there are certain restrictions in order to avoid wearing out the plastic piece or breaking the plastic piece in the glenoid. I got the procedure done out of town with an orthopedic surgeon in Virginia Beach, Virginia. So far, so good. The physical therapy exercises involves a lot of stretching. Since the glenoid was shaved out, it takes about a year and a half for a layer of fibrocartilege to regrow between the metal head of the humerus implant and the glenoid. This is my third major joint replacement surgery. I haven't played hockey or skated in awhile. Now, thinking long-term, I might want to stop playing ice hockey and try refereeing. As much as non-contact hockey isn't supposed to have any checking, there are times that you will get checked on purpose or accidentally... or just fall or run into the boards on your own without anyone even touching you. There's no casual pick-up hockey for old folks where I am. Once my shoulder is in better condition, I'll look into a level i refereeing class.

It's been over a year. My left hip has been doing well. I got my right hip replaced a week ago. Almost the same experience as the left hip replacement. I don't remember all the details of my left hip surgery post-op, but I feel more pain at the side of the thigh. Same was last time, I've been very tired everyday. I walked a mile yesterday. It took 32 minutes to do, I may have pushed myself too far though. I'm doing PT exercises once a day and have had one PT appointment since my surgery.

I had more of a sizing issue and returned a pair of skates without skating on ice or baking them. Regular width was way too narrow and wide width worked out. Same length. This was with Hockey Monkey.

What's your profile radius?

I couldn't find a chart. ROH can vary between skaters so what's optimal for someone else might not be optimal for you.
