Crazy to think I stumbled on MSH in 2006 when I was looking to get back into hockey and had no clue about anything. Cheers to many more years.

Out long-term, unfortunately. Was really looking forward to this, too.

There's a small chance I can make this work. When I thought it was in Las Vegas we made other plans for December. However, if I can make arrangements for that Friday & Saturday off, Mere and I will try to be there.

I'm in. I'm dumb and forgot about this.

Hopefully the new True skate incorporates something like Bauer's Comfort Edge. That is, literally, the only thing I do not like about my True skates.

5iveHole makes fleece lined ODR/Pond Hockey long pants.

It took the better part of a decade of dreading going to work every day, but we finally made the leap of faith into a new career for myself, and it is delightful.

I was officially denied the day or two off for this that I requested. Have a good time everyone. I'll (hopefully) see you all in December.

If I am not mistaken, SPARX has come out and said to point the toe of the skate/steel to the right.

If they are so secretive about the process that they are using that they won't allow it to be captured on video, why would they be inclined to send you their custom foot lasts that could help to further indicate to a competitor said secretive manufacturing process?

Where I am, we get three days, and they're not paid... basically three that can be missed, due to sickness, without getting let go.

The additional backhand padding came off my Maine AX1 really cleanly:

Man... guy just had to pick, just about, the loudest food possible. I guess just be thankful he wasn't cracking open walnuts? Some people. I wish you nothing but the best in your recovery.

So, I guess, it was only a matter of time before something happened and I ended up with stitches or in the dentist's chair because I don't(didn't) wear a cage when I play. Well, I finally didn't get so lucky and got popped in the teeth, with a stick, by some jabroni that had been playing physical and reckless the entire game. Luckily(?) only one tooth got messed up (broken in half), and it was an "easy enough" and relatively inexpensive fix from my dentist. I will be putting a cage on going forward. Of course, no penalty was called on the play even though i was spitting blood, and holding half a tooth in my hand as evidence. Now, I am not a short person by any stretch of the imagination, so this guy's stick had to get up pretty high to hit me in the face. This jamoke had the audacity to tell me that he "barely got" me and that it was my fault entirely because I wasn't wearing a cage. I hate people.

Well, I have been officially DQ'd from SJ participation. I was denied the PTO. See you guys in December!
