[dalebert 8]

Skatesafe men's league allows half shields.

[iceburg19 1]

does the mens league play just 5on5.

[dalebert 8]

Yeah it is 5 on 5 in all divisions except for the elite division which plays 4 on 4.

our response to when he told us he wanted to try and get back into your leauge was

"you threw a stick into the stands and tried to punch the owner"

I think that was a little while back no?I had my share of melt downs ,nothing crazy,I stepped a way from the leagues for alittle while because I wasnt having fun,I still skate by my self at the rink once or twice a week to keep skating but I really want to get back to playing league.skatesafe or ice. havent made up my mind,so If any of the MSH guys want to get anything going ice or inline,Iwant to jump in.It might kickstart my passion again.

Hey guys, Floral Park here (right on the queens, nassau border if you're not familiar). Are there any pro shops that have Heat and Compression fitting? I got it done when I was away at college and never had a better fitting skate, so I was hoping to get the same kind of treatment on my new ones.

[iceburg19 1]

I know some of the pro shops have bake ovens.maybe sporttime,or skatesafe.they would be closer to you.

I checked out the place Hockey Underground, not sure if anyone's familiar with it, its across the street from the freeport rink. They said they had the compression machine but it was busted, I went there to get the skates baked anyway, since they have a Sanisport and my equipment was in pretty rare form stench-wise. Really nice guys, very helpful. Pretty good selection of sticks and helmets, not so much on the protective, like shins and elbos, didn't look at the shoulders much. The back wall was covered in gloves, warrior franchises, new bauer branded four rolls. The part I was most impressed with was the sticks, large selection and a lot of the stuff was cheaper then i've ever seen by $30 or $40 (retail of course). Not sure if this belongs in some kind of LHS review section but just thought id offer up a place to try out.

Has anyone been going to the open hockey at Long Beach?

Also, anyone playing in any fall leagues that have room? I am looking to get in on some league play. Kind of bored of just hitting up open hockey and playing pick up games.

I recently stopped by the Play it Again Sports in Carle Place and I was shocked by how empty it was; like 50% of stock then it usually is. Are they going out of business? Or is it because its July? Anyone notice other stores that are like this?

[iceburg19 1]

ya know ,the same guys own the play it agan in east northport and that store didnt have much either.port jeff sports in port jefferson station is carrying roller equipment.havent checked it out but worth a look.

[iceburg19 1]

looks like there is a new site to check out. longislandrollerhockey.net nice for local

[fifthlinegoon 0]

Isn't the east northport store fairly new? I thought they opened it up within this year.

[crispy92 14]

Rockaway Beach here. Grew up in Queens. I've always played roller hockey. I played 104 precinct backin the, Hotskates in Lynbrook and fort Hamilton, Brooklyn league.

I've been wanted to try Sportime or skatesafe but a lil far from me.

[Dubbs 0]

Sporttime isn't bad, they play that dumb carry over offsides rule, which makes no sense to me. The competition in each division is pretty even, when I played there, there were no teams dominating everyone else. Can't comment about SkateSafe leagues, but the rinks were pretty nice from what I remember.
