Summer Hockey = Not as Frustrated a Parent
03/09/2022
As a parent of a girl who loves hockey, I found it frustrating there was little information in regards to hockey, in the summer. I had heard of a few, however, they were locked in months before I started my search and found the options limited. After my search, phone calls and emails, I have a pretty good list. It's...
Summer Hockey = Frustrated Parent
03/08/2022
Both my kids and myself play hockey in the summer. I like it, as I am old and don't get out much. My kids like it because they want to remain friends with teammates and enjoy playing. Each child and parent can get out of it what they want.. Here in MN, summer hockey is a norm for people who (Yes, they are in order)......
Adult Hockey, Go Now 5 Minutes to Game Time
03/07/2022
I am a regular in my adult hockey league, playing 3 nights a week with a family is what I would call a very understanding wife and kids. I respect their time and they respect mine. I respect their interests and they know when it's hockey time, it's time... which is what I am interested in.
Hockey Sharpening, Please Stop
03/06/2022
All, I want to tell you a little story about how a guy (me) bought a pair of nice skates (CCM RBZ 90) and has since not had to sharpen skates for at least 6 months if not more. While I know sharpening is a way of life in the hockey world and personally I don't pay for them, I...
Wood Plugs, Burn Them All
03/05/2022
This all starts out for me as a young-ish player, 15 or 16 if that counts as young. My formative years as a young goalie, I didn't care much in the way of a players stick, my obese wooden plank was as good as I was going to get in my lifetime so who should care. Fast forward a year...
Another hockey debate for the ages, I hear it all the time, "What should I get my skates sharpened at?". I hear that, I cringe a little. It's the same as going to the store, grabbing the first box of shoes you see and hope they fit. No, "No Soup for You!".
Hockey Skates Are Required
03/03/2022
I recently bought another pair of skates, switching from a Reebok to CCM. Why you ask? Why I would switch hockey skates, the one thing connecting you to the ice? The steel that allows you to stop? Because, they didn't feel right. No, I am not picky, well, I am, but I need to say I am not. Now of...
My Stuff Stinks, Where is the Bleach?
03/02/2022
I came to realize in my old age that I no longer smell like a small child, meaning I sweat and it smells bad. You know those times you forget your equipment in a car for a week in the winter and crack it open in the locker room.. yes, near death could soon follow. Now, I know what you...
Hockey Sticks.. They are Not Made of Wood
02/28/2022
I recently had a friend buy a new stick, a fancy piece of not wood (it's not lumber anymore, who uses wood?!), I looked at it and said, nope, not the right one. Now I am no expert, and anyone who is should be taking you in for analysis (More on that later). Back to the stick, I looked at...
