Skate tongue placement?

[hurricane 0]

I've always put my over my tongue.. and tuck my socks under like this

heatley/krusty

I play D and like to drop for shots so I feel better with my shin guard over my Tongue. Plus my skates fit better as far as flex and so does my shin guards...everything seems to stay in place. But I put my hole bottom of the sock over my Skate.

I would like to add that it is hard to put my shinguards behind the tongue because of the plastic in the tongue.

Just bend the plastic. :) I don't like the feel of the thick tongue on my shin. Much rather have smooth contact with the shin guard.

this year i asked for some 14" to try and put under tongue, my stride was horrendous, quickly went back to my 16" over.

I have my tongue on the outside of my shinpad and then tuck my sock over the laces, so it stays over the tongue, tonight at practice, I'm going to try putting it over my tongue.

I wear my tounges outside of my shinpads. It is more comfortable and I think it looks better.

Over......I think more d-man would since we block a helluva lot more shots that the fowards

I wear it over my tongue. I dont really know why. Thats just how I started doing it when I first started to play, and haven't wanted to change.

Always have my toung over my shinpads since i started playing hockey, Donno why. Guess thats just how i thought it was ment to be when i started. So now i just wear em like that all the time.

I wear them shin over tongue.

And in the back, socks inside tendon guard, like the pic.

i think it looks kinda stupid when it is pulled down past your tendon guard and onto the heel of your skate.

I wear it with shinpad over tongue. It provides way more protection, I think.

Shinpad over the tongue, always have, works for me.

Shin pad over tongue. Just seems to me that it is the way it is supposed to go, and it feels the best.

shinpads under, i feel it helps me to have a bit more flexablilty for my stride, but i have a new pair of shin pads in my garage so will maybe try those over
