How did you "find" Mod Squad Hockey?

[DarkStar50 679]

In June 2005, I was at a Bauer Product event in Quebec. During one of the presentations there was a slide presented showing a post from Mod Squad Hockey about if the vendors would stay true to hockey. I made a note of it and wrote down Mod Squad Hockey. About a month later I was going over my notes from the meeting. I saw Mod Squad Hockey and thought it had something to do directly with Bauer. I looked on Bauer.com but couldn't find anything. I googled MSH and the rest is history for me. I never bothered to even look for another hockey specific message board. This is a great community of members with great passion and knowledge for all things hockey. That is how I "found" Mod Squad Hockey. How did you "find" Mod Squad Hockey?

I wanted to find out more about hockey gear, as my hometown team normally looked to me to recommend what was good in terms of protections etc. Bear in mind that these guys would use their gear till it reeked and rotted before changing it, creatures of habit I would say.

Found MSH, joined up and the wealth of information started to really flow thru. Over the years I've met and gotten to know quite a number of the MSH community, unfortunately due to geographical restrictions I dont get to participate in any of the events that are normally held, but obviously it is something I would love to partake in.

A hockey buddy suggested to me. The amount of information here is unbelievable.

Google.

I actually heard about it on a different message board as the most knowledgeable on that one always quoted and praised MSH

Googled something like '' Worst hockey equipment ever'' to build an awful stock to make laugh my friend when we go to free ice time then I saw MSH, started to read post and tought that this board isn't like the others. Lot of respect, no beef and you can ask a question and nobody will call you idiot, newby or other names. Probably the only board I'm in and never got called frog or stupid french. This place is awesome!

I found it when I was just getting started in playing hockey and looking for information on hockey equipment.

A few years ago I had started into hockey again and was over at the Pure Hockey sale when they had the SMU Inno Maniacs. I had purchased one and googled it to find out about it because for the price it was an awesome stick. Googling "Inno Maniac" at the time brought me right to this board. And then I was hooked...

MSH is like frickin crack...

I saw it mentioned a few times in the IW forums.

Started playing again in November of 2008 after taking 6 years off after high school and was looking up info on the Bauer P10 curve as that's what I had used in high school, came across the treasure trove of information on here and have used it as a resource since.

[TeamHonda401 54]

I was researching info on gear before making some purchases, and about 5 of the 6 things I looked at were reviews on msh. Hooked every since.

I actually was trying to find old stock of the Koho CoreBeam stick (sometime around 2005). That search brought me to a post here that talked about the old CoreBeam message board. Read a few posts and never looked back.

Google while looking for skate information.

I believe I started at HF Boards on The Rink section and came across MSH. In terms of learning, I've come a tremendously long way and the people here (especially the mods) have taught me almost everything I know. I understand that I would not be where I am today in terms of a job without MSH and I also firmly believe that MSH will be a springboard for a hopeful future career in the industry.

Cheers to that.

Looking up the old first generation Easton Synergy and coming across the Corebeam site. I've been checking in ever since.

When I had the Salming line, I think a friend of mine sent me a link from the HF Boards that mentioned a Salming stick. That led me to Google "Salming" and see what else popped up. Either I found a hit on MSH, or I looked for "hockey message boards" to see if there were any other places to discuss hockey. At that point, I signed up as a member.

And did nothing for six months.

Then in May of 2005, I was displaying at the Chowder Cup in New England when Chippa struck up a conversation with me. He suggested I go on the MSH boards. While we were talking, I realized I had been on the board before, but told him I recalled vendors weren't allowed to sell on MSH; he said they weren't, but it was okay to discuss the attributes of the products. So I started participating, and the rest is history, as in shortly thereafter, Salming made me history!

But I've made friends here, as well as have jawed with Chippa about whether he's being too pessimistic about the Bruins or I'm being too optimistic. In other words, whether he's a true New Englander or I'm just a carpetbagger at this point.....

I think it was a combo of either HF Boards or Google

I was one of the last corebeam members. Logged on one day, saw the re-direct to here and have been reading non-stop since. Just recently got back into the site after a large lull, due to getting into the Police force here. I have missed quite abit of info since! ;)

[Apes44 7]

Did the old Easton board, then to corebeam and ended up here! Forgot about it for awhile once i was out of working in a pro shop, then googled something and was like "oh yeah, that was a great site for info" and back I came

Found it searching through google on looking for advice when i started to play roller didn't sign up then just read a few posts, but when i switched to ice i was using google again and came across it again.

Same here, started at the Easton board, went to Corebeam, and then MSH.

[sickwilly 37]

I was using Google to find product reviews for something I wanted to buy (can't remember what).

[ibeck 38]

Heard other people talking about it on the internet, checked it out and here I am now. I love how everyday I can read a new thread and learn something new. My friends from hf boards say you can earn just as much on hf boards, I tell them ya right!

[hockeymass 11]

Had a (dumb) question about mounting new holders, JR answered it, I decided to stick around.

Used to post on HFBoards few years ago and somebody mentioned MSH for hockey equipment info. I checked it out and that is that.
