Actually it was a third rink the pond a small section w / no boards.

Valencia Ice Station in North Los Angeles County to close for good. https://www.icestation.net/news/public-closure-faqs I could guess the shutdowns just fast tracked the closure, but I do hope the LA Kings take a look to see if they can save it.

Didn't metal tips get banned years ago? (risk of puncture wounds)

Yes you can help. Whether is on the bench, in street shoes on the ice or even in the locker room Approach the coaches to find out how you can hlp. You will grasp much more of the lessons than the kids and you can help them understand.

It doesn't look like Kovalchuk passes the pencil test. Also note the bend in the ankle per another topic. See link. https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2020/02/25/ilya-kovalchuk-will-join-alex-ovechkin-in-wearing-yellow-laces-with-the-washington-capitals/?fbclid=IwAR2wDP5KbM0jLRbG3-a7Q9JDS01TPhu0mg82K6DsyJd_N43eWGWe1R1Q8n4

Perhaps the skate doesn't fit? I have a wide forefoot and narrow ankles and find it hard to find skates.

Pretty sure those creases are from the skate breaking down from use not intentionally.

I've seen motorcycles do it. I'm in your boat and didn't want to blow up my engine. I had a friend in high school fill his 67 Camaros tank too many times with Av Gas at a small airport and the engine eventually blew up. You can mix octanes though so you don't go too high. I tried it in my 89 GTI in the 90's but mixed it cuz I was afraid to blow up my engine. Don't remember what octane but it was in the middle. I really didn't notice any difference.

This thread could be a sticky as well as a few other threads that answer common questions.
