Chadd 916 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 I never wear mine, ever. My old goalie doesn't wear his anymore either, mostly because he broke it catching one of my slappers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Not married, but I take off the ring I wear on my other hand when I play. I know lots of guys who play with wedding rings on though.I know of one guys who plays with a watch on...it's a nice watch too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drewhunz 3 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Saw one of my teammates get his cut off after he dislocated his ring finger. If you are willing to take that risk, by all means leave it on. P.S. when I am working in my woodshop, I remove all rings, or any loose fitting clothing. Point being, if it can be dangerous, it WILL be dangerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockeydoc 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 I take mine off. Aside from the risk of injury factor, it sometimes pinches when gripping my shaft. lol That sounds kind of ummm....Anyways... I have played with mine on during pick up sometimes and as I said have some pinching. I also bent it a few times and had to have it reshaped.I will never wear my watch. That's dumb. I know it will get broke, and I like my watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSHL99 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 When I get married I'd take it off, I leave all valuables in my glove box. Too many instances of people getting into locker rooms and stealing wallets, cell phones, or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sds 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 wearing it is asking for trouble, unless you want it cut off your finger after bashing your hand. Plus, I don't see how it doesn't cut up your hand. I forgot and wore mine once and I ripped a hole in the pad of my hand and my finger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BK 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 I guess that I am the odd man out. I have actually developed a heavy superstition with having my ring on. I forgot to take it off one night at drop-in and had the best game I have ever played. Ever since then, I have kept it on as good luck.BTW, its nothing fancy. Plain brushed titanium. If it breaks on me, I'm only out a few hundred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjtt99 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Better to take rings off because if your finger swells up due to a break or dislocation you're in for a lot of trouble because getting them cut off isn't an easy process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkStar50 679 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 I always take the ring off. With my luck, I would catch a puck, bend the ring, and get my finger mashed in the process. My wife is already half pissed off when I'm out skating. No need to add gas to that fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fletch 219 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 I give mine to my Wife before I leave for the rink, she puts it on her right ring finger. I tried to play with it once, that lasted about 30 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife is already half pissed off when I'm out skating. No need to add gas to that fire.Thats my luck... <_< Caught a puck that was going faster then I thought and bent it on cutting into my finger, it made it impossible to come off so me and the guys did some DIY on it, bent it back the other way by hitting it with a goalie stick until I could pull it off.

KYHockey3 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2007 i remove all rings before playing.you never know when you will jam your finger and have it sweel up so big that you cant take the ring off!thats the main reason i see for not wearing rings.i allways wear a small silver necklace when i play. it doesnt get in the way, and can easily be tucked inside a jersey or shirt.the bad thing about taking it off is that you run the risk of losing it! your wife wouldnt be too happy with ya!
