Rbk skate trend?

[NextBobbyOrr 0]

Hey, so I just picked up a pair of 10k skates and their amazing. But that's away from the point. When I was changing, I noticed how many people in the room had rbk skates. But what I felt was weird was how many of them put the shin pad over the tongue. Is that a common thing in your team? I dunno if this is just a coincidence. Everyone on my team did it. I figure I may try it out. Does it help with anything or just preference.

I'm a shin pad over the tongue person as well as about 80% of the guys/gals on my 3 teams i've played on.

I've always done shin pads under the tongue/tendon guard.

It's a personal preference. I used to go under the tongue of my skate but the last ten to twelve years I've gone over top. With me it was just a comfort issue. I find it less irritating to have the tongue of my skate against my leg as opposed to the bottom of my shin pad against it. Doesn't really effect my mobility or play either way.

Right now I'm wearing my shin pads over my tongues but I go back and forth depending on my current skate/shin pad combo. I've had 5 pairs of skates and 4 pairs of shin pads over the past 10 years. Whatever fits me best. I'd say my teams are split about 50-50.

Always shin pad over tongue. I feel like it protects me more and feels more comfortable. Also, notice less lace bite.

I don't think this has anything to do with wearing Rbks.

Likely not, but I wanted to know if this was a coincidence or something...

I would say not a coincidence, just personal preference.

Over the toungue, but it's both a comfort and protection thing for me.
