Do you think that one would work? I wasn't trying to spend too much but they make it sound like half my poo poo wont even fit. I have an older version of this and everything fit but it was a tight fit http://www.icewarehouse.com/descpage.html?pcode=CXBP It seems like for you situation playing tetris with your gear would be worth it.

One of the captain's in my lower level inline league always complains to everyone about trying to get teams to not use ringers in our league. He sent out an email right before the season saying he was removing the ones from his team, everyone should do the same, etc. I think their team had 5-6 ringers when we played them in the season opener last night.

I don't get the hatred for ringers some people have. The games don't really mean anything and while a team chock-full of them can be pretty lame, I have a couple of friends of mine that play on the low level teams with me that could easily play up higher but they'd rather play with their friends than play on a higher level team with strangers. It's not always about dominating easy competition

It's not always about dominating easy competition My feelings are kind of mixed on ringers. As a goalie, it's more interesting to face better shooters and I can totally understand someone wanting to play with their friends. That being said, it is annoying when you face a team taht is deadset on winning the beer league championship and all of a sudden you notice a lot of players that you've never seen before. I guess that my preference is that if you have a ringer, then always have them on your team, but if they magically appear down the stretch or during the playoffs, then it's a lovely thing to do. Try to keep your league as balanced as possible, so that it's fun for everyone.

I hate seeing new guys appear the second the playoffs start.

It's not always about dominating easy competition Yeah I have no problem with a team having 1 or 2 people that are better than everyone, but when you have 4-5 of them and it really isnt even fun to play against them anymore when you have no chance at doing anything against them. That team also went 1-9 last season, but once playoffs rolled around, they were in the finals and one goal away from winning it.

Try to keep your league as balanced as possible, so that it's fun for everyone. This is how my league was won last season. Once the playoffs started, they brought a bunch of their players from the "A" team a league above. Most of them never played a game in my scrub league. Even during the championship they swapped out players from the bleachers between periods. One guy gets a hatty in the third to win it all. Retarded. Apparently it wasn't the first time they did it either and I'm fully expecting it to happen again when the playoffs start in a month or so.

About halfway through the season they do a roll call and whoever is put down as the 16+goalie(maximum allowed) names on the team then are the only 16 players eligible to play for the team in the playoffs. You can swap in subs all you want for the 10 regular season games tho

My league requires you to sign in before each game and play 6 games to be eligible for the playoffs. A lot of the ringers "play" their 6 games but somehow never score and then light it up during the playoffs.

Just an FYI to those in the Detroit area, Perani's usual warehouse clearance sale is the 21st to the 31st at the Farmington Hills Ice Arena (Newburgh/Halsted and 8 Mile-ish). Really really good deals on pretty much everthing.

I'm actually trying to find a new helmet but I have a feeling they don't have them at the end of season sales and they're much harder to figure the sizing of.

Nope, since the Hawks resurgence, they host their annual Blackhawks Convention and auction the gear off there. Apparently the proceeds go to charity. Bastards. **edit** Dammit, neither do the Chicago Wolves who also auction their stuff off for charity. Everyone is forgetting the big picture here, my performance boost.

poo poo, I didn't even know the NHL teams did this. Although, it doesn't help that the last time we had an NHL team was in 1996 when none of the stuff would have fit me anyway. I played a game last night and we only had two subs. One sub didn't show up until the second period, so for the whole first period we only had one sub. The other team had three full lines of skaters. We were actually winning until the third period when they scored a flukey pinball deflection goal. We were pretty happy to take the tie all things considered. They must have been pissed. Our goalie stood on his head which really helped too, and we all play defense really well. But, gently caress, my legs are sore today.

Curious of these mystery auctions I hear about No idea, I've never been to one. I think it varies by team, some don't do it at all, some auction. There's a couple threads about team sales at Mod Squad Hockey.

Are there any skate laces on the market that either have a metal sleeve at the end of the lace or at least has a plastic sleeve that doesn't break after a couple of weeks? I've just been using the standard waxed A&R (?) laces and I'm sick of the sleeve breaking and rendering the laces useless.

I haven't had any I also cut the end into a trapezoid and melt the frayed tip so in the odd case where I do pull them through they're pretty easy to put back in.

Martytoof posted:Do you pull your laces out completely? I haven't had any I looked up the word last week, but aglet had already fled from my vocabulary. I usually pull the laces out from the first two rows of eyelets and then thread them through when I put my skates back on. I'll try cutting the end and see if I can thread them through again. I normally haven't had problems with this, but I've killed two sets of laces in the past few months and my set before that lasted well over a year.

Hint: If you melt your laces, don't let the hot plastic drip onto your finger  This ought to be common sense but I was picking plastic bits out of an open wound for the next hour after I did it. Hooray
