NYTimes: Sharper hollows cause 50% of groin injuries

[epstud74 24]

I'm done playing for awhile I guess. I had my skates sharpened the other day and come to find out it was at 1/2" whenI specified 7/8...

Reaggravated my groin a couple nights ago and tried to skate on them last night.. Bad idea, I can barely walk today. This is something that happened back in September, and I'm still not able to play more than 2-3 weeks without the pain coming back

Who botched the sharpening?

I have no idea who it was to be honest with you. I'm not good with names or who the person is/was. It most likely was an honest mistake and they didnt understand what I said or heard me. I didnt learn to speak English til I was 5-6 yrs old anyways :)

What I really need to do is stay off it and probably lose about 25lbs.

Oh, I'm just wondering which place sharpened it! I skate on 11/16" so everybody looks twice at me, but I just hope some kid doesn't do that to me...although 1/2" wouldn't be the end of the world.

Rink #2 at the BIG in June and being 240lbs with a 1/2" hollow=an accident waiting to happen...besides I was already having issues to begin with
