 College mascot showed up at stick time today. He did not want to play half ice with us.

Scored two goals from behind the net last night and we won 4-3. Came close to a glorious behind the net hatty... There is always next game!

For the spreadsheet nerds with an apple watch and who are willing to risk it on the ice, hockey tracker is out: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hockeytracker/id1297971760?mt=8 With a $3 a month subscription fee.  But since it's the first thing of its kind that I've ever seen maybe they're justified in charging a premium.

The tracker thing is really cool. Or was, when it was in beta and completely unrestricted. He basically pay-walled the whole goddamn thing instead of his original idea of paying to view/edit stats on the phone app. I get having to make money for future development, but goddamn that sucks. You can technically use the app (on the watch, at least), but it doesn't actually save anything into Apple Health or Activities. You basically get your stats, then when you end the workout, say "oh hey that's neat," then delete all the data. I stopped using it and just use the standard Workouts app with HIIT now. e: Oh hey. Out of curiosity, I checked his Slack and it looks like he's un-paywalling the watch app with the

I just use my fitbit in workout mode to figure out I'm an out of shape fat piece of poo poo. Works every time.

I can never bring myself to actually wear my Fitbit on the ice. I just worry about it breaking or something if someone starts hacking.

My watch sits inside my glove, so I'm not really worried about it. So far so good. Although I did get slashed on the hands behind the play last night and my thumb started bleeding all over, so I guess it could still break given the right angle. I scored the game-winner from my knees after an uncalled crosscheck to the back shortly after the slash, so suck it, guy.

The cuffs on hockey gloves are really very good, I took a slapshot off the wrist several months ago and I barely felt it. The guy that unloaded it skated up and was all "holy poo poo you okay?" I have no doubt it is very possible to break a watch while playing hockey, but it'd be a freak accident type thing.

The thing I worry about probably more so than the watch face is the little glass sensor on the underside that reads your pulse and whatnot. It would really suck if that shattered from a shot/slash and cut you up.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that the face of the watch would break wayyyy before the heartrate sensor.

Yeah mine sits pretty safe under the cuff of my gloves. Don't think I've been hacked on that side or not but I'm not worried if it gets broken because if that breaks I've got other issues to worry about because it would have to be a hard slash or a hard puck.

With all the people I've seen wearing necklaces, bracelets, watches, wedding rings, and earrings ... you're infinitely more likely to get hurt from the puck, someones stick/skate or falling into the boards.

I can understand the worry of watch breaking, I had my finger break earlier this season after I took a slap shot off the glove and it got crushed into my stick. In other news, I got my 10th goal of the season in a 2 goal game that put us up 3-1 over the assholes in our division.  My best season before this was only 3 goals.

Once I heard about ring avulsion, I decided I would never wear my wedding ring when I play hockey. p.s. if you don't know, don't google it at work

The ring finger is pretty much useless anyway, and then you get to walk around with the shocker all day long. But yes that injury is loving crazy gross, I used to remove my ring and then just sort of kept forgetting.

I've had a wedding ring for a whole 3-4 weeks and I immediately adopted the policy of "loving nope" for wearing it during anything athletic.

The only time wearing a ring in a hazardous environment ever did anyone any good was in the Abyss, and that was a fictional movie.

I’m impressed that it takes a team comprised of posters from this thread to go to a tournament together for this thread to die. We won games, people played their first games, people scored their first goals, and my hatred for all of them was less than expected* *pending this drive to the airport

We had a Sunday and Tuesday game last week but nothing for another 2 weeks. Because with the entire league, all divisions, of 15 teams it's hard to determine ice times.

I scored a absolute garbage goal in my game Thursday night. I am playing D now, and my partner picked up a loose puck and skated in on a breakaway, I was at home on the blueline and our forwards were changing. His shot and rebound put back were saved, but the puck sort of rolled out to the right faceoff dot. I was looking at it thinking "stay home you have no help" but no one was even moving toward it so I skated up and one timed it in the general direction of the net and hauled rear end back. When I turned around it was in the net. I assumed my partner buried it but later found out it went off like two of the other team's skates or legs and in. My first Minute Men goal!

I've been playing nearly every other day this past week and a half. I've also been battling a really bad cough, then I decided to go snowboarding yesterday morning before my game in the evening. I got taken down on a breakaway and give a penalty shot. I faked backhand and went wide forehand and scored. I take the next face off and get a jump into the zone but was too exhausted to do anything useful so I took a slapshot from the top of the left circle hoping for a change. It went under his armpit and in. 2 goals in one shift. I have back to back games tonight. Ill be paying from 9 until about 1230. May need to look into some Sudafed.

I'm through the worst of it now but I have an annoying lingering shallow cough. I've stopped taking mucinex and just sound like I have the black lung. The first of my games is at 9pm in Everett, my second game is at 11 in Olympic view. Ill have to drive in my gear to make it on time (minus skates)
