Even your hands are too thin!!

I have seen the same thing, albeit to a much lesser degree by us. There are handful or teams and a handful of guys that are like that. There is one team in my division I hate playing against because there are guys who think they are playing checking league and only want to hurt you. And then God forbid you bump them back they act like you assaulted them and then want to fight. Not a good group. The refs are "meh" in terms of controlling play. That said, its not quite as bad as your experience. On my teams we have the same guys, very consistent and we treat each other with respect. I am the captain but lack the experience that others do so I never tell anyone how to play, I just organized things and leave the "coaching" to the better players. I guess my point is you have some options... find a team or league you are happier with for one. You can also find organized pickups.. I fill in on two and they are lots of fun... great guys. Good luck, you are doing this ti have fun and if you are not having fun you really need to make a change.

Thanks... I need to find a place to get sharpened on a Fire ring and try it out.

I've been in FBV for about 7 years now and I think in this regard its more or less the same... way too much is made of that IMHO.

I have considered trying the Sparx Fire..... need to demo it first tho. If I liked it I'd buy the sparx but I havent heard amazing things about the Fire ring and I love my FBV. Hand sharpened by the master himself... @JR Boucicaut

I play in the MHL and I use FBV (.... Midnight Hockey League )

I agree.... I stretch every morning and foam roll too. Also before games. This is an absolute must.

I agree on the Alpha's.. that said.... if you like the Vapor fit... buy a Vapor!

We got smarter... High shots = easy saves and no rebounds

Never heard of them but thats a cool website with tons of options for a good price. I wonder if they are any good... Hopefully someone will take one for the team and try it out and write a review.

I'm gonna go with.... different factory in China???

yeah... you've eliminated the variable and gotten some good advice. Maybe try a profile with more flat.....

Yes, I use them. I found that by molding them myself I was able to get a better fit than the skate fenders. Protection is just as good. I have had both.

Some questions... same ice surface? Same outdoor temps? Do you use a honing stone in between games? Lots of variables at work here.
