YeehawMcKickass posted:Has your team ever had any trouble with El Pirates? We just came off of a 7-5 loss with them but holy poo poo was it a penalty fest that may have gotten two of their players suspended or booted from the league. One of their guys tossed his gear and started throwing punches at one of our guys for a trip, then whoever #17 is on EP decided to repeatedly slash our goalie's glove hand (after it'd already been stepped on). Same guy decided to drop his stick and take a run straight at me in the last minute of the game. Never really had anything too major with them. I think the hot head on our team got a roughing penalty with them but wasn't really a fight or anything. One of the players on our team has a cousin on theirs that we've played rat with a couple times so we're mostly amicable. The only teams we really had big fights with were mcnasty and men of mayhem. We had a sub goalie against men of mayhem that got ejected because they kept slashing his face last season.

Dude in our game yesterday got a cut on his ankle during play, was on the inside of his leg just above the boot. Had to have been a skate because it was a clean cut and he didn't feel it until someone noticed a puddle of blood and everyone was trying to figure out where it came from. Lesson learned, suck it up and wear cut resistant socks. Refs were hilarious. I figured USA Hockey would have some kind of procedure for dealing with blood on the ice, even if it's just calling the rink crew in to fix it. But these two guys were having none of it, they just stood there BSing with each other and if anyone asked them for advice all we got was a shrug.

Some dildo in a division bad game before ours got pissed at something that happened in a beer league game and smacked the glass behind the bench with his stick. Glass shattered, got all over the bench and the area behind. We had to sit in broken glass during our game.

These are a little spendy but honestly are more comfortable than any non-cut resistant skate sock I've worn http://www.swiftwick.com/cut-resistant-hockey-sock-11820-prd1.htm I guess they just protect over the tendons though, so might not have helped the dude in your game.

I've been waring tuff 'n lites the past few months. Also expensive (but a few dollars cheaper than the ones you linked) but good reviews.. the material doesn't degrade in the wash like kevlar solutions do. The coverage extends past the ankle. I've never worn socks that go up to my knee and it does feel weird but once I'm on the ice I don't notice it. They even sell patches of the material if you want to go full on sperg and sew it into your hockey pads/attire.

Nice job super try hard guy who got gloved by the goalie and flipped his lid because he didn't score, now we get to have a half hour delay in the middle of a 10pm game while the rink guy attempts to hunt down a piece that will fit and is tall enough to fit the height of the corner/end glass. On the plus side he at least felt like a mega douche for doing it and played a more subdued game than usual. We even tried to convince the ref to give him a penalty for it but the ref wouldn't do it saying that the guy felt like such a complete jackass that that was enough of a punishment. I say it should have at least been a delay of game if not an unsportsmanlike conduct to make him feel even worse.

Got drafted in the gshl for the Greasy Weasels in division 4. Really looking forward to the start of the season. God I need to get into shape though. I did ladder drills in my garage for shits and giggles and could feel a lot of stuff jiggling that never previously jiggled before. A few months off the ice has taken quite a toll.

More fallout from our mini-thunderdome game on Sunday night. Followed by a 9-3 spanking of a loss because we couldn't work together. The guy who got the fighting major got three games. After taking a shower and clearing his head he realized he was being a dumbass and came around to apologize to a bunch of people. On the other hand, #17 doesn't seem to know when to quit...or even have a head on his shoulders. The guy apparently decided to drink with a teammate in the parking lot after the game and wait to try to pounce on our goalie for, "being a bitch" and faking being hurt. This wasn't a smart move because the kid had is entire family with him and one of our other guys went with him to help carry stuff. It apparently devolved into him trying to fight our goalie, then shoving our goalie's dad and making threats at the mom and girlfriend before his teammate dragged him away telling him he was being a moron. Kid was supposed to be our permanent goalie and the whole incident convinced him to just quit outright. Nobody on our team blames him for it, the whole thing was bush league. All the league director told us after the meeting was, "there will be consequences for El Pirates."

He seemed like he was no more than 20. From talking to him in the locker room after the game, he was a really good dude. Was on track to make the minor leagues as a first baseman before he tore his acl. The dude causing all the other poo poo is on a different team. If I had to make a wild guess, he's about to get a ban from the facility.

Hey LA hockey goons, I just moved to the area. I was nearby before (IE) but went to a completely different set of rinks, mainly KHS. I'm a total newbie but want to jump back in since life is starting to settle down again after a few months mayhem from a new job and moving. I'm now looking for a few options on where to pick up skating and doing stick time again before ultimately joining a beginner league in a few months. I live in Los Feliz and work in Burbank. How's the LA Kings ice in the valley? Or Pasadena? Lakewood or Torrance may be options on the weekend but traffic probably prevents me from making it there after work. Any other options?

xzzy posted:Which rink? You still playing beer league at Canlan? Yeah, Canlan. It was the last game of the night on Rink 2. HZ: This poo poo is why I'm so flabbergasted. I mean there's teams named McNasty Hockey and Men of Mayhem in this league (both known for playing rough) and THEY responded with a solid WTF when they heard.

Yeah I've heard the house league down there can get a bit nasty but assaulting people in the parking lot is a whole new level. Don't get me wrong, every rink has its shithead skaters, but Canlan has a "reputation".  I'm cool with my rink. My team is "not good" but everyone is having fun and the community is pretty stable so everyone has friends on every other team. Even the refs will shoot the poo poo with us.

You can call the Redwood City rink a dump, but at least the only noteworthy parking lot encounter I've ever heard of there is the one time a friend of mine ran into Michelle Pfeiffer.

It must be the moon or some poo poo. We added a new guy to the team and he spent the entire game talking poo poo and trying to start poo poo. He took a shot, which the goalie kept and play was blown dead, he proceeds to knock it from under the glove into the goal and starts celebrating. Which ends up him yelling at the ref. And to top it off he sits there the entire game yelling for fresh legs at 20 seconds. It's freakin' beer league dude.

Nitramster posted:That ref seems cool af fyi Yeah most of our refs are fine. I just don't like the kid who broke the glass. He whines to the ref after every play even if nobody was near him which really aggravates me. Just play, if the penalty is that bad they usually call it, no need to whine and bitch because you got shoved or had your stick slashed away from the play.

Pasadena is close too. The best beginner league I know of is in Torrance and that's where a bunch of us play. Nitramstr and Ace Thomas play in aluminum there and it's for a lot of beginners. Places like Toyota Sports Center don't really have a true beginner league like they do. Games are Sunday. Also Torrance does a good job of placing you on a team if you don't know anyone. Are you available Tuesday nights? They run a pickup at Torrance at like 950pm that was made by a bunch of learn to plays. Good group. Take the 110 exit sepulveda, make a right then a left at western and you're basically there.
