wrangler 157 Report post Posted November 3, 2013 Bought a used headset on ebay for $500 less than a new one, and it turned out to have a small crack. Took it in, and got a brand new one for a warranty replacement. Even better, they let me have a replacement with the connectors I needed, so I didn't have to use an adapter any more. So I got a new headset of a type I'd always wanted, but never would have bought at a new price. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrangler 157 Report post Posted November 4, 2013 Bose A20, used had the U174 plug, new replacement had the dual GA plugs. Half hour drive to the Bose store made it easy. Should be nice for trips and CFI stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XveritasX 13 Report post Posted November 7, 2013 The current store I work at is moving to a new location and we are getting brand new everything. Yesterday my manager asked if I could come in and set up the new skate machine. We have a brand new Blackstone triple head machine with the revolver system, new jigs, new shaper system, new spinners, etc. It is really nice being able to use everything that is brand new, and the revolver system seems pretty sweet. Once I got everything set up I brought my skates in to put a 11' radius on them and a slight forward pitch. The machine was great to use, super smooth, and my skates felt awesome at my game last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badger_14 601 Report post Posted November 11, 2013 At the rink after stick & puck last night, I happened to notice that one of the kids playing in the game after was one of the kids I'd coached last year. So proud to see him. Nice to see the kids going on to bigger and better things. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thejackal 46 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 early morning (6:30AM) shinny at the Bell Centre today. obviously a fantastic experience. Ice was great. The lighting actually make the puck look like it's moving slower than it is, which took some adjusting. First time playing in full equipment in two years, so no problem keeping shifts short because I was constantly gassed...we also got to wear Habs' practice jerseys 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing like playing on NHL ice. We played at Staples a few weeks ago. Had a hard time paying attention to the game, just because I was too busy looking around in awe! The ice was like GLASS! AHL and ECHL teams playing day games for school "field trips" in an effort to bring young fans into the game!Wow, that's actually a FANTASTIC idea. All AHL and ECHL teams, or just a select few?

thejackal 46 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) AHL and ECHL teams playing day games for school "field trips" in an effort to bring young fans into the game!cool idea for sure. would think that many schools would be interested in either doing something science or phys ed related. maybe something worth looking into....NICE! Nothing like playing on NHL ice. We played at Staples a few weeks ago. Had a hard time paying attention to the game, just because I was too busy looking around in awe! The ice was like GLASS!kind of shocking how much my legs and lungs burned considering I've been training 10-15 hours a week in the past 2 years in tennis. still sore the day after. scored five-hole coming down the wing but probably should have had 2-3 more considering the number of shots I had. lots of stuff to work onbut still, cant complain about lighting the lamp in an nhl building...

badger_14 601 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 cool idea for sure. would think that many schools would be interested in either doing something science or phys ed related. maybe something worth looking into....The Senators do something like this, where they have a curriculum of hockey/Sens related activities/lessons for different subject areas (science, math, etc). I agree it sounds like a great opportunity for practical, hands-on cross-curricular stuff. So much going on at a professional (or even collegiate) game that you could tie in. Math, science, phys ed, English (write about going to the rink, write a 'news article' about the game), heck, cooking (if you think arena food qualifies as food)...

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 It's a pretty regular occurence in the AHL. Our (Hamilton Bulldogs) School Day game is tomorrow at 10am. I think we have a agme in Syracuse later this year that is a mid week/non holiday 11am start. Crowd should be in excess of 10k.They (the school boards) cut my playlist considerably from last year. No rock. They still want pop music that kids like...but they've requested that nothing that references drinking or partying and no sexual references at all, even the veiled ones. They were upset that I played a clip of "Whistle" by Flo-Rida last year. One school even turned down the invite this year. Now, I'm sure teenagers might get it, but you'd have to tell a 10 year old what that song is really about.So, it will be lots of Taylor Swift, Bieber, Selena Gomez...and organ music with clap beats to get the crowd going.btw...Ylvis "The Fox" is on the MUST PLAY list! Not sure what will happen if there is a fight. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badger_14 601 Report post Posted November 26, 2013 The local association's Learn to Play started this past weekend ... so happy to be coaching again. Even somehow got roped into an extra hour of coaching another association's LTP kids last Saturday! (They had 20-some young kids and one coach, I was at the rink early and was asked to help.) Looking forward to rest of LTP's season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
