Aniki posted:I just purchased a puck bag and 15 pucks for my team. Is there anything else that I need to bring as a captain? I know that the captain for the other team that I play on always brings a first aid kit with aspirin and antacid tablets, so I assume that I should bring something similar. I don't run my team, but I bring one of those six-pack Gatorade water bottle carriers and people love it. It's $40 on Amazon for the set, but cheaper if you buy it all separately, for some reason. lizardking posted:We play you tomorrow. I hope I get to sub Are you playing at the Cube?

Any other Columbus area hockey goons on here? I'm starting in the newbie league for the fall session, supposedly Columbus has the "most active" hockey culture in the states.

Physical therapist tentatively took me off the DL, pending my Achilles doesn't blow up at my Saturday morning stick time. Kinesio tape is loving amazing. Season starts Sunday.

So I've done some Goo diligence, but haven't found any resources on this matter. Does anyone know of a way to do patellar taping for hockey? I've got chronic patellar tendonitis in my left knee. Ordinarily I'd wear a knee band but that's a non-starter since they don't sit flush against the knee. Has anyone had any experience with knee taping and hockey? I wear knee braces from time to time, but they're bulky and limit my range of motion.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:I wish we had 2 rinks here you do, Skatetown and Vacaville  I did timekeeping for a 3v3 tourney at Skatetown on Sunday and afterwards there was a BBQ, some of the guys were pretty cool, so I have a little bit more faith about eventually playing there once I'm a bit more settled in the area.

I've got chronic patellar tendonitis in my left knee. Ordinarily I'd wear a knee band but that's a non-starter since they don't sit flush against the knee. I'm confused - are you saying you can't use a knee band because it doesn't sit flush against the knee? I thought that was the point. Are we talking about the same thing - the band you wear just below the knee? Unless you're looking for something to literally be on your kneecap?

coldwind posted:PSSSH I play Never/Ever. I too am still on a never/ever team though I think this will be my last season. Captaining a D3 team and subbing on the D2 team is a lot of work haha. At the managers meeting they said they will probably be changing the names of the leagues so C is B, D1 is C, D2 is D1 and D3 is D2 to match the league skill with that of other rinks like vets.

If so, ask them about (I'm going to sound like a shill here based upon my post above) Kinesio tape. It's worked wonders on my Achilles and within 2 days of taping me up, I'm feeling about 80-90% less pain in my foot, and will be skating for the first time within 10 days of the original taping. sba posted:you do, Skatetown and Vacaville I live in Folsom, so Vacaville is quite a drive for me. But yeah, most people at Skatetown are pretty cool. I could have a beer with 90% of the people in my league. There's always going to be that guy. We have a guy who played Bronze last season, thinks he's hot poo poo (he sucks), keeps his 8 year old at the rink til midnight every other night, and smokes like a chimney next to him. We nicknamed him "parent of the year." Avoid people like this. Everyone on my team is cool though Where are you living? What league are you thinking about joining? I'm assuming from trilljester's post, you're a goalie. You should come out to stick time this Saturday @ 6:30a (yeah  ) and let us try to put really weak slappers on you.lizardking posted:never/ever team What the heck does this mean?

Are we talking about the same thing - the band you wear just below the knee? Unless you're looking for something to literally be on your kneecap? Patellar bands have a little rubber band that sits across the patellar tendon. It absorbs shock when running, etc. But it also sticks out about a quarter inch from the spot just below the patella. Fall on it in shin guards and it's like getting hit with a 1/4" dowel right in the spot you're trying to make less hurty. I hypothesize that there's a way to tape my patellar tendon without the wrap sticking out. I just don't know how to do it.

I saw a PT for about a year after my patellar realignment surgery, and he talked a little bit about taping, but didn't mention kinesio tape. Mostly he just wanted me to blast my quads to get ze legs all pumped and soopah strooooong. But gently caress gyms. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Habibi posted:Whatever, Davis is pretty nice if you like the small-town feel (which I do). If the job situation there wasn't lovely and if I didn't dislike Sacramento as much as I do, I'd totally consider moving to Davis. Yeah, pretty much. I'm working in North Sac, the commute sorta sucks, it takes me about 30 minutes each way, but there's literally no jobs in my field in Davis, because there's very little business presence in Davis. I knew that when I moved here though. Davis is quirky and weird, but if you like small towns, it's the perfect small town. The Farmers Market is amazing, the food is great, and there's some cool places to hang out. The biggest issue is the lack of Big Box stores if you need stuff...aside from one Target that's almost not even in Davis, there's a lot of nothing. Even still, if you REALLY want to go to Best Buy or Wal-Mart you can be at one in about 10 minutes by car. Henrik Zetterberg posted:Do we perhaps have a second Browns fan in Northern Cal?

sba posted:Despite all the great food in Davis, I really only ever want In-N-Out...as a East Coast transplant, will this eventually go away? Yes - when you realize that they're pretty much just the West Coast version of '5 Guys.' Don't get me wrong - In-n-Out is really good, but they're not as good as the hype out east might lead you to believe (likewise with 5 Guys and the hype out west). I'd go to Pluto's over In-n-Out any day, and I know y'all have a Pluto's in downtown Davis. And can I just say that I'm shocked to see a Gendo post that doesn't have some sort of horrific photoshop related to the plane crash? Gendo posted:Yes. I have one like a mile and a half from me and I haven't been there in over a year.
