badger_14 601 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Those both sound pretty weird. All the ones I've ever played at are NHL style. Benches on one side, penalty boxes and scorekeepers box on the other.Thinking about it, it might be a space constraint issue. A lot of the rinks here are your basic quonset hut over an ice sheet design (or, a box over an ice sheet). Players/scorekeeps on one side, spectators on the other. Or, in at least one rink, players/scorekeeps/spectators on one side, and a wall on the other: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.am 13 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Huh. Which two do you play at? None of the rinks I've ever been to in San Diego DON'T have glassed-in penalty boxes.I'm thinking glass above the door so you can't jump out. I play at UTC and played at the Kroc.

badger_14 601 Report post Posted March 19, 2015 Hockeytown Saugus is where we play when the Hockey Gods are angered and we are being punished. And to make it legit, here's a photo of me (albeit in my first year playing) at Saugus: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badger_14 601 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 hockey academy huh?I played 2 seasons of that in the past...mixed bagI played once in Saugus (1st year playing) and twice in Newton a few years ago. The novice league in Newton was a bit of a crapshoot, they'd gotten rid of the B/C "primetime" level and so a bunch of B players dropped down to D. I could walk to the rink, though, so I was willing to deal with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJB 488 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Tournament 2 weeks ago(her girls team played in a boys division) my little one getting run into the boards... PS called, unfortunately she was dinged and couldn't take it.Sequence of run into boards - Opposing players dad wanted him thrown.... I was in the bench and they were asking out loud if they could run a kid related to his dad in the stands.... And my last shot of the season for my son this year with the Skatin' Utes. Was just a scrimmage before Nationals... Solid season for the boys, he didn't get much ice time, but had a few points and loved the team, learned a lot.

EJB 488 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) That kid in the back has got one sweet stache.Last game of the travel season for the boys, everyone had a 'stache to put on, if they wanted. Sort of a tradition(did it last year as well). My daughter had one on for a few minutes, but said it distracted her and pulled it. All three coaches had them on as well....

MThockeydad 469 Report post Posted June 3, 2015 Our "Not-so-Elite" team from a C-level tourney in May. First tourney for four of our players, first coed for 3 of the gals, too. Another from an intermediate level tourney this past weekend: We placed 3rd. I had 2 goals, 3 assists, no penalty minutes! ;) 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law Goalie 147 Report post Posted June 27, 2015 Got to skate at the Pepsi Center a few months ago. Check out the tendy's sweet setup.Your goalie's gear is stupendously nice. Is that a Protechsport mask he's wearing? The chin and forehead profiles look familiar, and given the Roy connection, it would make sense. (Though it's clearly not a Roy shell.)
