V for Vegans posted:I was looking at jerseys for beer league teams today and it made me kind of sad that I play in a league where everyone wears the same reversible jerseys. Maybe after a couple seasons of stinky socks I'll look into a more legit league with standings and stuff, or do they not normally have those leagues at the D level? NESHL teams wear whatever the team comes up with, and that is likely your next step after stinky socks. Also, I'm back in stinky socks for the summer (quincy on sundays, come on down) and now that game one is done, I'm just going to wear a regular blue or white jersey. I think the reversible one has a layer of asbestos between the two jerseys to make sure the heat stays trapped inside. So efficient!

I think I need to add a workout/hockey day to my week because I've been getting runner's stomach afterwards.

I just finished up my first season in the lowest level rec league and I'm loving it. I was wondering if there were other NYC/Chelsea Piers goons out there. Did you find the instructionals worth it? In terms of time and cost I'm not sure how much I can really sign up for at once so I'm trying to decide if it'd be best to do those or just try jumping in to the rec league. Which coach do you work with? We generally have Craig, who I really like, and a guy who's name I didn't catch early on and still can't quite figure out but he's European and it sounds like Yeebo or something. Habibi posted:I'm not a big fan of typical squats, period. It's great if you're a bodybuilder or a strongman competitor or something, but for purposes of athletic performance and injury avoidance, I think there are as or more effective exercises that don't place the same strain on the back, hips, knees, even shoulders. I would agree, in general, that barbell back squats are not the best idea for 99% of people. And for those, the vast majority actually shouldn't be shooting for below parallel, because that final few inches is where most of the difficulties start popping up. Front squats or safety bar squats, though, are something everyone should add to their workout even if you already do unilateral stuff.

I'm at Chelsea Piers as well, although it's the Stamford, CT one. NBCSN studios are literally attached to the building, I keep hoping I'll see Millbury, Jones, or JR on the ice one of these days

EvilTwig posted:NESHL teams wear whatever the team comes up with, and that is likely your next step after stinky socks. The reversible jerseys seem like a cool idea, but they're so heavy. One guy on my team has the normal only white jersey and the eight difference between them is amazing. The first time I wore a generic black practice jersey to a stick and puck after playing in the stinky socks jersey all the time I was almost shivering on the ice because I wasn't used to feeling the 2mph wind as I skated.

An alternative to Chelsea Piers is City Ice in Queens. It's just over the river from Manhattan and the 7 train runs right by it. The quality of the ice in the summer is akin to a swimming pool, however they let you drink beers in the locker rooms, which is a plus. Also in the winter time if you get a chance, I highly suggest playing at least one season in the adult league at Lasker Rink in Central Park. Playing in the middle of the wooded area under the stars is like living in a Canadian painting. The ice sort of sucks and games are subject to weather conditions, but I still have good memories from it and a swank championship hat with a Trump ice rink logo.

There was a dude I'd never met before at drop-in last night, had a yellow tinted visor. Badass handlebar moustache.. I figured he was the real deal. Then he spent the next two hours shuffling around on the ice barely able to stop. He was also pleasant in a conversation. This destroyed my expectations, to this point anyone with a tint has either been a veteran trying to prove his NHL readiness by stunting on never-evers, or a colossal shitturd. Or both.

Also his post history strongly indicates he is, in fact, a shitturd. Colossal-ness is yet to be determined.

I really want to get a pink tinted visor in an effort to look like the biggest shitturd, but i'm worried seeing everything in pink will ruin my vision. Choices, choices. Is there a list of things people wear in hockey that makes them look like an rear end in a top hat? I need this for research...

Red jerseys are pretty bad too. They seem to think it means the jersey works for either bench, but nope, it just means everyone fucks up their first couple shifts before they get used to it.

The only reason red jerseys piss me off is because i've played too many games where the guys in red have split and end up playing against eachother. Brilliant, I can either pass to the Russian guy in red on my left charging forward, or the russian guy on the right charging forward. Who's on my team? Nobody knows!

Here one of the color-coded women's league divisions is Red, so I'm used to pretty much every woman I ever play with owning a set of red and white jerseys and red always being used for dark.

Skated against this guy last night. It's rare that I can't look out over a forward, so that was an interesting experience. He tried to come down my side on a half hearted attempt at a breakaway but got shut down. I really wanted him to find a different option for getting into his offensive zone so I started chirping at him, but that doesn't really work on a former professional athlete. We got into it in front of the crease, and now I know what it's like to play against someone bigger than you are, cuz he twisted around and popped me in the head with his elbow fighting for the puck. Nice guy, okay skater, hard shot. Very similar to when I checked Derek Holland the week before we blew out his knee.

The closest I've gotten to a pro is one of Chelios' cousins. His shot is pretty bonkers, he goes from looking relaxed to vulcanized rubber missile faster than you can realize he's decided to shoot. I call him smellios.

There's a mirrored motorcycle visor that's been laying on the side of the highway for a few weeks and every time I drive by it I worry that something's happened to Henrik Zetterberg.

You're going to be garbage at everything for a while. Use whatever your gut tells you to go with and practice whatever you're bad at until you're not bad at it.

Vital Signs posted:You can't wear a tinted visor and a cage... priorities. You can get one of those hybrid cage/visor things. Some brief searching makes me think finding a tinted replacement shield for one of those things will be tough to find but you could always get a roll of that do it yourself car window tint and tint the visor yourself at home. It would work I've done a couple motorcycle shields that way.
