Shin splints playing hockey

[NorthStar 0]

First off I did search, all the topics I found dealing with shin splints were due to running, not hockey. Know on to my post, I get shin splints playing hockey. The weird thing is I get them when I wear my easton 1500's, but when I swap them for my old easton ultra lite's I don't get shin splints, what's up with that? Does anyone else get them from playing hockey?

Do you still get shin splints while running? If so, which runners are you wearing?

I used to get shin splints when I used to run in shitty Nike Shox, BAD decision. After changing to a pair of Asics with the Duomax foam on the midsole, my arch had better support and I didn't get shin splints again. Try using a pair of insoles that will support your arch?

this will sound really random but my buddy is a runner and told me that drinking dark pop can help cause shin splints.... something about phosphoric acid or something, i cant remember

but if i were you i would be more worried about arch support and whatnot.

I agree. I would first off look at the two skates and compare arch support as well as heel lift too. The slight differences are obviously making a world of difference for you. I know how painful splints are so if it were me, I would ditch the 1500's and stay with the Lite's.
