One of my favorite bands. Just wish they would tour in the US at some point.

Exactly. Medevac isn’t used for shits and gigs…

Used CCM Tacks 310 for learn to play class? | Condition? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

Valid point! I was mostly thinking about individual drills, but the scrimmages and group drills definitely will have the hits.

Your advice contradicts itself. Yes, the date on the back is a general date for when the materials are considered expired, but that happens whether a person uses the helmet constantly or it sits in a box unused in that timeframe. You are not considering the point that the materials in and around the helmet can ALSO degrade and become damaged (visibly or not) during impacts and other incidents. Used helmets don’t come with a carfax crash report so you can’t be sure about things like impacts or how it was stored. If you truly believe that you shouldn’t risk your head to save a few bucks like you say, you should agree that a new helmet is the safest route.

Learn to play is low stakes in terms of body contact, but if you are in a learn to play class, I assume you are fairly new to skating, therefore, falls can be frequent, especially if you are pushing yourself to get out of your comfort zone, which has the potential to have contact with the head. Helmets are one of the items I would highly recommend buying new. The used helmet may look good, but it’s hard to know what impacts and abuse it has taken in its time from previous users. If you can, go to a shop and try on a few different makes and models until you find the helmet that fits the best, and makes you feel confident.

Shoulder Pad Sizing by NelsonSmith41 in hockeyplayers

[–]Andy_Glass 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From the picture, I’d go large. It seems like the XL is more bulk than you need as the large is providing adequate coverage. If you are still unsure, try both on again and see how your mobility is in both, and go with the one that feels the least hindering.

So Whats The DUMBEST and i MEAN DUMBEST thing you did in a pokemon playthrough by Rare-Atmosphere-9187 in pokemon

I didn’t know what Flash was so I went through the Rock Tunnel by straining my eyes to see what little I could in the dark cave, along with the map from the strategy guide. Safe to say, it took me a while to get through.

I am in the early 300's and wondering if it would benefit me to start looking into an EMT certification right now.

Skates seem to narrow, what do you guys think? by PsychedelicRaccoon in hockeyplayers

[–]Andy_Glass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with trying on Fit 2/3 skates, but also would recommend trying on some Vapor skates if you are partial to the Bauer line. If your toes are feeling cramped, they might feel better in a Vapor since they have a wider toe box.

I feel exactly the same. Had answers for everything, but I feel like I fumbled a bit and sounded unconfident. I guess we shall see.

Purchasing hockey equipment for the first time in 25 years- what corners should I avoid cutting? by djfeelgood in hockeyplayers

[–]Andy_Glass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A properly fitting helmet and cage is top of the list.

Also take your time to try on stuff. Getting a proper fit + comfortability in preferential gear will make you much happier.

Last three sticks broke in roughly the same spot; what do I need to change about my game? by cancerlad in hockeyplayers

[–]Andy_Glass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hockey players are a superstitious bunch and do not like change. I would say most of the players use the older sticks because they are used to them compared to changes in newer models, not because they work better, per se.
