Looks infinitely better than the Eagle River this year. They couldn't do it on the lake because they got too much snow and the ice never froze properly. So they moved it into town where they built rinks on the race track.

we’ve done eagle river in this thread, it’s how bewbies and I first met. It sucks and is the absolute worst tournament, absolutely fitting that it is the USA Hockey branded one. The local adult league contact hockey and rink in a wooden dome is cool as gently caress though.

3 favorite memories - taking the la team who are some of the lowest skilled skaters back from a 6 goal first half deficit to tie some team who i think may have gotten real sour about it despite being in the division where there are no playoffs lol - importing easily the best selection of tequila and mezcal in the state and opening a tasting in my private apartment attached to the rest of the house, sipping with my friends with a good fireplace and solid playlist on the sonos (i stand by skipping clumsy) - seeing my pals from this thread grow to 8 and realize that i've skated with some of them for almost 10 years at various events like these

the photos are from this weekend, the tournament ended on Sunday afternoon.Verman posted:We need a hockey goon meet with all the folks. People say this, and no offense, but no one does anything about it but me. I coordinate, plan, schedule, budget, reserve, deposit, etc. Discuss and try to get a consensus amongst the group for big expenses. It's a lot of work. Every year we expand it a little because I also care the most about the vibe of the whole thing and gauging personalities and talking with the others takes time. But, there's also a reason why everyone is invited back every time. I've also taken on a second, local team which overall was cool and I liked playing 8 games instead of 5 but also definitely hard and showed that their vibe was cool, our vibe was cool, but not every person can fit in with every team. I guess what I'm saying is take the reigns and put one together! I'm down to offer any tips. But a random meetup with a bunch of complete strangers is probably gonna suck. sellouts fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Feb 18, 2020 |

Shells would've been a real hard sell. Look good, feel good, play good. We've convinced almost our entire team to get a shell that match our jerseys. Looks pretty swank. I would love to do a goon meet tournament but most of you guys are west coast. Airlines might charge me extra to fly my stinky equipment.

Buying hockey gear in mid-February as a 6'7" dude is hard but I found some 15" gloves, shinnies, and a stick that's getting a plug put in it this afternoon. Progress! They didn't ANY size 10.5 or 11 skates in the entire shop so I'll live with my freebie size 12s for now I guess. "Wear thick socks, Gordon."

The captain (who is the goalie) sent out lines for the next game, which I can't make. In them, he has himself listed as "backup" with a guy who has covered for us a few times as the goalie. I asked him and he said something about how he just wants to ice the best possible lineup. He's literally going to be there, but not play. We went up a division this season and overall it's much tougher. The team decided to stick it out after losing the first two games 8 to something when the rink asked if we wanted to go back to the lower division. I was all for staying, but if literally the guy who put the team together is scratching himself to be more competitive, I'm not really into it.

I have a pair of Bauer S170 that are size 11, if you are interested. PM or send me an email, which is my username at gmail. I can send along a picture. Also, have a few back up sets of steels I can sharpen at either 1/2 or 5/8 with my Sparx.

The Sunday snow game was extremely dope, and made better by the tryhard team playing after us helping to shovel snow so they could warm up earlier.

I don’t know if it matters in your case but the more I focus on shoving my stick blade into the ice in front of the puck, the more air I get because my stick is actually flexing and I’m not just shoveling the puck along.

It's mostly a pressure thing. I crumble like an old cookie when I'm slightly off balance or against the boards or someone's closing the gap.

Since my hockey team is lame and hates doing bonus things, I just now learned about a pond hockey tournament in New Hampshire that barstool is putting on. Could’ve pretended to be as cool as you all with a pond hockey team. I know there’s at least one goon in the area who plays, maybe we could make a team next time if they do this again.

Had a weird incident in a game last night. I was carrying the puck over the blue line and wide towards the boards into their zone. I chip it forward as their guy approaches me to create a bit more space. As I go for the loose puck, he's behind me poking for the puck. I stick lift his stick out of the way. I protect the puck and he stick lifts me from behind but gets a good hook on it and pulls it back towards him which ends up behind me. I keep trying to get to the puck despite whats going on with my stick. I try to pull my stick back and he starts losing his poo poo. He gives me the ole "gently caress you you loving gently caress, control your loving stick". Next, he's wearing a visor pushed all the way up on his helmet in mid level beer league hockey. Even though he stick lifted my stick into his face, I should have complete control of my stick. I'll give him that. I give him a "Sorry bud". He keeps hollering at me. I just keep playing as there was no whistle. If I got called, I would have understood. A few moments later (same shift) I circle around to go for a loose puck. We're both turning towards one another and he sticks his knee out at me which I avoided. As the puck moves to other end of the zone, I skate that direction and he approaches me with two hands on his stick like a samurai sword, intentionally tries to slash me across the loving throat with the blade of his stick Kill Bill style. Luckily I saw him coming at me and started back skating. The ref blows the whistle instantly and sends him to the box for unsportsmanlike. The guy starts crying about how he got highsticked and the ref laughs at him and explains what he saw regarding the two hand slash. After the kneeing attempt, I knew he was going to be a mental case so I was looking out for him. When I saw him skating towards me completely ignoring the play, I knew he was going to do something stupid. Later in the game he seemed to relax a bit but he was chasing a puck around the boards with one of my defensemen behind our net. I got to the puck first from the other side of the net, protected it against the boards, and see this kid coming full speed with his head down. At this point I know he doesn't see me. I pass the puck up the boards back in his direction past him and my defenseman and clinch because I'm about to get hit, he looks up at the last second and goes down hard on his rear end. He was pretty pissed. The ref tells him to keep his head up next time. Weird game. Weird dude. Thankfully we had two of my favorite refs who I really trust to call a good game.
