I take it off. Heard a horror story when I first got married. Short version is smashed hand, swelled, and ring cut off. Take it off.

Honestly, the odds of anything happening are pretty low (though it'll be nasty if it ever happens).

Oh, also, I have a QALO ring, which is made of squishable silicone. It's more for weightlifting and situations where my normal ring might scratch or ding something delicate, but if you're freaked out at a 1 in x00000 chance of degloving it's an option.

I usually wear a candy flavored bling ring just to be safe, and also in case I get hungry on the bench.

Whew, we won 6-3 and had a ridiculously full bench. Like, 3 D pairs full. I'm not sure if attendance is gonna go down or if we're gonna get the lines more set in stone next time, but it was shocking. I had a pretty good assist where I threw it on net from the blueline and a guy scored in the scrum, so I'm pretty happy. The team has a bunch of pretty good players on it, so I'm looking forward to the year

So this morning I woke up with excruciating back pain, spine between the shoulder blades dagger everytime I move pain. I loaded up on Tylenol and Advil all day and by the time our 9pm game rolled around I felt I had enough mobility to at least give it a go. We get to the rink (Acethomas and I) and realize we're facing the undefeated team (we're in second, out of four teams, lol) that we tied to with our full team while they were gutted of their ringers and only had 2 people on the bench. Not only that, but we were going to be down a lot of players, and for some reason the best team got an email sent out to a neighboring rink that they needed more players, so they had 15-20 skaters, 7 of which were regulars that had no idea wtf all these people were in their locker room for. We had 3 defenseman and 2 forward lines. Something about hockey and overwhelming odds completely squashed all my pain and our goalie went full on Jonathan Quick voodoo to have a shutout going through half the game and then stopped probably 46/50 shots on goal AFTER that, and we ended up winning. Feels good now, I'll probably be paralyzed in the morning.

Here's a protip: Keep your chin tucked when blocking shots. I got hit with a slapper in the chest last game, riiiight on the top edge of my shoulder pads. It bounced up, hit me in the chin cup of my cage, and ricocheted out of the zone. I wasn't actually trying to block the shot at all, but it certainly made me realize how vulnerable my throat was every time I did. Edit: And yeah, I take my ring off and put it in my wallet before games. Whoever said "degloving" was right on.

I wore my ring during a game once, and it was a bad time. My finger size varies a ton with temperature, so the ring was super loose on the ice and it bothered me the whole time. I always take it off now.

We started game last night with 7, one guy gets kicked out for "abuse of official" then another guy gets hit with errant friendly slap shot and breaks finger. I am...tired today. Dude who broke finger is probably retiring from recreational hockey

Congrats, dude. Don't cave in on the amount of hockey you play! (Just kidding, be prepared) Unless you're a weirdo like HZ and your significant other plays hockey as well. Then enjoy a life of making stink babies or whatever.

I was actually planning on not wearing my wedding band at all (and had even talked my wife into it) because (1) it was uncomfortable as hell and (2) I can be a little absent minded and was convinced I'd probably take it off at some point and forget it, like I've done with countless pairs of sunglasses. But then I stumbled onto a ring I actually really liked (on a site by a woman who hand-makes gorgeous hammered jewelry), and it took almost no time to get used to it to the point of not even noticing that I have it on - regardless of what I'm doing or wearing on my hands.

It only takes a few months before not wearing a ring feels more weird than wearing a ring. I never gave a second thought to wearing a ring while playing hockey. I'm not sure how a degloving could happen on the ice but I guess crazy poo poo happens sometimes.

I'm not sure if attendance is gonna go down or if we're gonna get the lines more set in stone next time, but it was shocking. Six games now and we've had nine forwards and four defense every time. It's pretty awesome. If anything, we could trim the number of forwards, but I don't care because I don't play forward.

There's a tiny lady on my new team who makes big beer league dudes look foolish all the time with great skating and puck control. In our game tonight she scored one of the coolest goals I've ever seen in beer league: she stretched out so far to catch a pass that she fell onto her knees, splitting the opposing d at the same time. She controlled the puck from the ice and then regained her feet just in time to roof it over the goalie. It got the team pretty pumped up and I think ended up being the game winner.

So I have somewhat of a random question. Anyone here live in Quebec city? I'm looking for some information on adult hockey leagues there but I'm coming up dry, probably because I don't speak French and don't know the proper terms to search for. Are there any good competitive adult recreational hockey leagues out that way?

So with any luck tomorrow will be my first "game," albeit a Bronze-Silver drop-in. Since the rink canceled all stick times for Sep-Jan I haven't been in my full kit in two months, and then only four times at all. I'm going to tell everyone (especially my team) that I'm the greenest skater they've ever played with, and hope to be better than that. Also in preparation I finally picked up a

Sweet gear rack! In about 2 weeks I'm moving from a second floor apartment to a nice 2 bed house with a garden (still no garage boo). I'm looking forward to building myself a sweet rear end shed with a stall and ventilation in it so it becomes the place for all my gear to live in.

Yep, it's official, I am terrible at this sport  Had such a blast though, once my body got used to sprinting back and forth for sixty seconds at a time. Looks like I need to hit the old cardio. Can't wait for two weeks from now when I can play again, hopefully with more evenly-matched teams (We managed maybe 12 shots on goal during the whole hour).

FreshFeesh posted:Yep, it's official, I am terrible at this sport Skating once in 14 days is no fun. Is that your schedule or are you missing a game or two? I find that skating 2-3 times a week keeps the energy levels up. Less than that and I'm sucking wind in the 3rd period. Interval training at a gym or interval running can help but running is boring compared to hockey. Actually, most anything else is boring compared to hockey so it's not a fair comparison.

Tuesday night is the only Bronze/Silver drop-in; the two All Level times are right in the middle of my workday on Friday. Unfortunately I have prior commitments alternating Tuesdays so it's just twice a month for me. I do try to get out to the public skate session every Saturday but as you know there's only so much you can do with those; they don't hold a candle to stick time. Edit: There's only one sheet of ice for at least 50 miles in any direction so my options are really limited FreshFeesh fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Oct 22, 2014 |

You gotta do what you gotta do. Playing more than once a week helps for sure but just playing every two weeks is better than not playing at all. I've been on some really bad teams with guys that weren't fun and almost to the point of quitting but always fall back to, it is more fun to play than it is to not play.
