This one time a ref was tired of our center being poo poo at faceoffs and after the game waved the zamboni off and gave the dude a 5 minute tutorial on how to sometimes actually win a faceoff.

Ref calls me offside three times in the same game for skating the puck into the zone backward (I had full control). Me: "Dude. Read the drat rulebook." Ref: "When was the last time you saw someone in the NHL do that?"

That's a definite 50/50 call at my rink. Some refs will call it regardless of if you have control or not. It's pretty annoying.

I thought the official rule was that the puck had to pass beyond the blue line before the last part of the body.

I was thrown out of a game for breaking up a fight. There were two guys fighting and this rear end in a top hat on the other team was the 3rd man in and he started punching the back of the head of the guy on my team. I grabbed the 3rd man in guy and put him in a headlock/nelson type hold and kind of took him to the ice and held him until the refs broke up the other fight. I was then thrown out for fighting while all 3 of the other contributors to said fight were given minor penalties. I completely blew my stack after that and was followed up with a referee abuse penalty. Both fighting and ref abuse are auto-suspensions in my league and of course I was then suspended for the following 2 games which were also the last 2 games of the season. I took a 3 or 4 year break from that league after that and played in another one until it folded up and I had nowhere else to go. That is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen or been a part of.

I hope a fight never breaks out during a game I'm in because I'm not sure what I'd do. I like my teammates and want to back them up, but going beyond chirps isn't really in my nature.

In between periods sometimes I like to push myself around the ice with my stick upside down like I'm rowing a gondola. I'd like to imagine this is what I would do if a fight broke out on the ice because the security camera footage would be pretty funny for whoever has to review it

The last fight I was involved in was me being in an actual fight. Wasn't proud of it, but the guy I fought, who easily had at least 80 pounds on me, was trying to hurt someone. He cross-checked one of my teammates in the back after the whistle, hard, so I got in his face about it. He starts shoving me and won't back down. I'm backing up, and part of me just said gently caress this, dropped gloves and started swinging. It's almost surreal how it happened. I got some shots in. Also to add, the refs during this entire sequence wanted nothing to do with this. The one ref even said "nice fight" afterward. There were no suspensions. edit: more about jerkface, he was causing problems with us for a game and a half, and even that same game tried to fight a couple of my teammates before our eventual fight. Guy had issues. shyduck fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Jul 15, 2015 |

My eventual goal in life is a Gordie Howe hat trick, so a couple of times now I've lined up "fights" against either similarly small older women or alternatively very large good-natured men. Unfortunately so far I either haven't managed to get the goal or assist in in games with an appropriate opponent (and appropriately silly ref), or only got the goal and assist in games that were too serious/chippy to risk a comedy fight.

Day one of Hockey Dream week completed. A close 3-2 loss, but I got trapped back on D (was covering for a dman who'd jumped up in the play) for the GWG and was so pissed at myself. I had the puck with the opportunity to clear and bounced it right off the pressuring forward's cup onto his stick and he blew by me for an easy breakaway goal. Other than that, I had a good game, including bodying up on their SICK DEKEZ home-from-college player and some good puck battle wins down low along the boards. Unfortunately, after I dispossesed SICK DEKEZ, his follow-up teammate took a hard one-timer on the loose puck, which went off my heel. I've already got a nice bump there, so skating the rest of this week is going to be awesome. Also slightly re-aggravated a strained lower back muscle. doctor 7 posted:My hip-flexors and groin muscles would be dead by the end of the week holy poo poo My groin has been bugging me for a little while, but I had a weekend off of games due to roller derby travel and it's feeling much better.

I feel like I'm overstretching them (and I make sure to get warmed up before stretching) before puck drop, but I'm afraid of not stretching these muscles enough, too.

Sooo I'm the only guy on my team with no points after 10 games, woof. I think I've been playing pretty well on defense but I'm getting moved up to forward for a few games so I can have a chance to register on the score sheet. Hopefully I can get something done.

Last night before my game, I noticed there were some rather large players on the studio rink. It was an AHL/NHL camp. Brandon Bollig, Chris Kunitz and about 6 more guys I couldn't recognize. They were just running drills and such with the blackhawks skating coach Kevin Delaney. Bollig was surprisingly good, he was sniping corners bar down 9 out of 10 shots against the goalie. Our game was getting ready to start. We were very short, not even 2 full lines. They were coming off the studio rink when our game started. They all walked behind our bench to get to their locker room. I leaned back as Bollig was walking by and asked if he could jump in and sub. He laughed and politely said no. Everybody dreams of Kane, Crosby, Stamkos etc jumping into a drop in game. I would have taken Bollig. We lost 3-1 against a 10-0 team.

I feel like I'm overstretching them (and I make sure to get warmed up before stretching) before puck drop, but I'm afraid of not stretching these muscles enough, too. When I started doing proper form hockey strides, as in down low with full leg extension, I was pulling my going or hip flexor every two weeks. My groin would take two weeks to heal and my hip flexor would take at least 1 week. So I was basically out of hockey for 2 weeks of a month. I tried a bunch of stuff but the only thing that worked, and by worked I mean since doing this I have not pulled my groin or hip flexor in 4 months was a modified stretch of this:  Instead of keeping your forward and back leg in a straight line you rotate you back leg about 45 degrees out at the knee on the ground from centre then stretch, then 45 degrees in at the knee from centre. When it's rotated out and you lean forward you *really* feel it in your hip flexor. When you rotate in, it targets the groin. I swear by it and refuse to skate unless I do this twice for each leg holding for 10-15 seconds each time (in addition to all other standard stretching). I'd link the YouTube video a sports physiotherapist goes into the stretch in detail but I can't find it.

Split squats will stretch out the hip flexor too, and give you MSL style quads while you're at it. Good for improving your general mobility in that area instead of just opening it up prior to a skate.

So in my trek to learn to skate before I start playing ice hockey I finally got a decent pair of boots on my rental skates. Makes a world of difference, I felt confident and got told by my skating coach that I should be ready to move up to the next level they have in another session or two if I come practice a bit between weekly lessons. The old skates they had there were like cheap leather roller rink skates I remembered from middle school. I was getting a bit defeated after falling down so much trying crossovers last sessions and am now excited again.

I think my increase in groin strains was also related to developing that deep extension. I do a similar stretch for my hip flexors but without the rotation, I'll throw that in and see if it helps. Day 2 of Hockey Week is in the books with a 4-1 win in my lowest level league. I spent a lot of time working on keeping moving while on offense to continually get to the open ice and make myself a target for passes. I took some long ones and led a few rushes, including a few that started with a turn and go. Excited for the first day of hockey camp tomorrow, but my foot bruise from last night is killing me. It felt fine after a few minutes on the ice and didn't bother me during the game, but now that my skate's off it's throbbing.

When I went off to college I thought something terrible had happened to my ankles because suddenly instead of skating in my own (surely cheap and never sharpened) skates I was in rentals and I could never keep my ankles stable, even though I was on smooth indoor ice instead of out on the river. Since then my hometown has built a new ice rink where all the rentals are pretty tolerable lower-end hockey skates.

In other news I'm doing 1hr of power skating then 1hr and 15-30minutes of adult learn to play hockey tonight. I'm dieting at a cut of 750-1000 calories a day (so 1.5-2lbs per week) so basically today I get to eat like a normal person due to how many calories skating burns. So not only do I get to play sweet hockey but I also get to drown myself in 500 calories of sweet complex carbs, an extra banana 30 minutes before I hit the ice and then a post workout Clif bar. Thursday's are easily my favourite day of all time now.

This might be a stupid question, but if you're side-by-side with an opponent who's got the puck is it ever advisable to put your stick in your other hand to get more reach (eg. if your left hand is your top hand but they're on your right side)?

Not a dumb question but no you shouldn't do that. Keep your legs moving and stay strong with 2 hands on your stick. From their you can lift his stick quickly to either make him lose the puck or at least have to concentrate on maintaining puck control rather than looking for his next play. Meanwhile you're still moving your legs for better position.

xzzy posted:Pfft, Gordie Howe could do it. That looks like he's picking the puck off the boards on his forehand, which can be easier to do - especially if the puck is even with or behind you - while accelerating if you take your top hand off because then you don't have to turn your torso as much to control it. Also frees up your other hand to ward off checkers from the outside. Takes having good control of the puck one handed like that though. Brent Burns has a penchant for doing this.

I'm pretty good at stopping and changing direction now but I still get pretty nervous being really close to someone at high speed.

Real talk: bumps happen, keep your centre of gravity low to keep your balance. If you're side by side the only way you hit is if you or he cuts across and neither should do that unless you're sure you've got him beat.

I'm still pretty nervous about contact at speed as well, but I am noticing that as I play more games I'm slowly getting more willing to compete for the puck on the move.

Day 3 of Hockey Week concludes. Two hours of pretty remedial skating fundamentals: lots of edgework and focus on deep strides with correct mechanics. I've learned that I am not half as good a skater as I seemed to think I was. I've got a good, deep stride, but my edgework is awful if I only have one skate on the ice. Ice session #1 ended with a bit of puck handling, which I at least felt decent at. I didn't feel too bad after; even with a lot of hard skating, there was enough downtime between reps to not feel too burned out. It was no worse than any of the weekly roller derby practices I run. A few hours later my 11pm league game ended up a 7-3 win. I had an assist and some good digs of the puck, but I can feel how tired my legs are now. Gotta be back on the ice at 9am tomorrow though uggggggggggh. bgreman fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Jul 18, 2015 |

Won't help much, it takes 2-3 hours minimum for your body to start converting it into energy. I eat whole wheat pasta so a bit longer too. Plus you want low fat so I use a tomato sauce with one tablespoon of olive oil for the pan to cook my chicken/veg in before mixing in the sauce. I generally like to eat pasta 6 hours and then 3 hours before playing, with a higher amount of protein (chicken/Turkey/fish) 6 hours ahead then mostly just pasta with a bit of protein 3 hours before the game. Then I'll have a banana 30-45 minutes before I hit the ice. Really makes a difference compared to eating some lovely burger 2 hours before a game.
