    I have skates - customs - and had to do a few punches where the skate sat overnight. Having the right shop is the key.

    Back on topic.... you try the Fit Lite?

    No one said it cannot be but the device here is to see protective - or at least seek balance. There is also a fair amount of common sense (and likely some physics and materials engineering) that would indicate that lighter is less likely to be most protective in a helmet. Well, at least with current materials.

    I have a set of CCM U+ Pro pads that are great. Very protective and your size..... will sell if you want.

    Why the concern about the lightest? Its your head... protect it.

    I don't disagree with any of this advice - to some extent or another all is true and makes sense. I also started playing later in life - I was 34. Now I have no trouble getting up but at first of course I did. The secret - at first - , I believe, is getting your weight centered over your skate and pushing up with your edges on the ice. It's a flexibility and strength thing. You want to create as close to a 90 degree angle as you can between your leg and the one - perpendicular. Later, as you get more comfortable you will be able to push off sideways on more of angle and get up as you are pushing out but for now you just need to get up.

    Two P's, a K and a 0.

    The bigger ones. You can trim I’d needed but you’ll need the width. When JR did my customs (Nexus V-cut 8EE) we went to larger Superfeef.

    I am one of the people you would say is "anti-true" and I posted no such thing - in fact I seconded West Side Skate as the place to go for his fitting. All we did is make a fair accounting of the issues that have been reported. And if you read the last few pages in the thread you will see them posted by True owners themselves.

    this look like over time they have gotten shaped pretty funny... it happens. I don't know if reprofiling accounts for that and can fix it. If not buy new steel and get dat quad 0 profile!!!

    I was at the Islanders retail shop in the practice rink the other day talking to the manager - I know him for many years. He was telling me that tons and tons of skates get tuned back by players. And these are all custom. And you know which one had the most returns....????

    As the owner of custom Bauer skates I will echoe @JunkyardAthletic It took work to dial them in. Pain, punches and preserveareance. But the work was worth it and they are now far better than any retail skate could ever be. And I’d also bet, dollars to donuts, better than Trues.

    Guess sliced bread is still the greatest invention!!

    I coached kids for about 10 years and always felt y job was first and foremost to give every player an experience they enjoyed and second that they grew up a bit and earned about themselves and the game. To that end I always made it a habit to make sure minutes were evenly distributed. As the kids got older the only caveat was if we were trying to win a playoff game we might make some power play or penalty kill choices late in a game but thats about it. To me if I played weaker kids at the end of a game down a man early in the season than they knew I trusted them and they learned to to do it when we really needed them to late in the season. That type of growth is priceless.

    close topic... perfect answer....
  20. beerleaguecaptain
    Thats great!!! Keep up the healthy path! Once you get there you should look into Isagenix. 2 shakes a day, healthy dinner. Cleanse/Fast twice a month for two days each.
  21. beerleaguecaptain
    wow... may I ask what you are doing? I did Isagenix and it was amazing... gotta get back to it.
  22. beerleaguecaptain
    Lunges, squats, dry land training with sprints and shuttle runs! I expect you faster than greased lightning by SJ!!!
  23. beerleaguecaptain
    I agree with you. Most beer league players dont have the awareness to be in that position or the speed to get up and down.
  24. beerleaguecaptain
    we try to keep the wingers up on the point and let the center work down low. The guys that understand positioning better, when they play wing (weak side away from puck), will drop to the high slot and allow the center to double team the puck down low.

    At 10 years old my best advice to you is to transition him to a mid level big brand skate that will be around for a while... he will get used to it. He's 10!!!
