Ah, alright then. I haven't been able to play hockey since grade 11 (:() so I'm a bit behind on equipment I guess. Plus it didn't help that I was a lumbering defensemen who used his cheap-o sticks mainly for cross-checking dudes in the back.

So you're Chris Pronger then :v:

The other team had like 8-10 "fans" show up with team jerseys, drinks, a couple vuvuzelas, and a woman literally playing bagpipes between periods. It was incredibly weird but then a guy on the team said that they actually didn't even know who they were, and that apparently they had just decided to pick a beer league team to follow and started showing up to games. Maybe nobody wanted to fess up to knowing them but :psyduck:.

these people own

Yeah I feel like that upper part of the toe would break super easily from either catching a shot or jamming up in the boards

...otherwise you end up with a weird old-man-tries-to-skate-fast stride like me. I need to take another power skating course and have 'em try and fix my poo poo.

I can no longer find the length of laces I like in wax. I might have to buy a longer pair and shorten them somehow.

Also if I have to re-tie my skates partway through every game are they too big? My first pair was 6.5, I'm in 5.5s now. I wear size 8 shoes.

That seems like a massive discrepancy in sizes. Do you try to keep the laces tight or more on the loose end?

E: yeah double knot them or tape them up a bit.

We had someone from our team drop out last minute yesterday, turns out his wife had a baby. We were discussing everyone chipping in to get him some sort of gift, and my favorite idea by far was a onesie for the kid that says “Daddy Doesn’t Backcheck”

yeah this rules and you better do it

Beer league hockey does not matter nearly as much as your wife and future child.

If your teammates aren't total dicks, they'll understand that.
