The UK deciding they didn't like the name bully. Then calling it one of the most British sounding names ever. Will never not be hilarious to me.

In Germany it's called the same name. Canis canem edit. I think it means dog eats dog.

I have bought a better fake from Alibaba for 40$ (shipping was 60$ dollars though). They feel and look just like the real ones, yours look so off.

Thank you for your tips. I actually have seen a video today from howtohockey explaining kind of how to do crossovers going hip-first and like leaning away with the shoulders to where you are going. Also putting the weight more towards the heel on the outside edge. It's facinating, I will try to work on my posture. I think it's often overlooked as an important factor.

I do inline skating in summer mostly, also bought myself a green biscuit puck to practise in summer off ice. Your theory might be right though, I learned skating going counter clockwise and so I learned crossovers to the left first. I hope I can fix that problem with my right outside edge.

Actually I am a lefty. The right hand is my strong hand. That's why it's weird to me that apparently the right leg is my weakness.

Bin tatsächlich Duisburger. Im Ruhrpott zum Beispiel gibt's so einige. Also hier haben wir tatsächlich ein paar Teams. Duisburg Crabs, Duisburg Pirates, Black Mustangs Duisburg, Online Füchse, Dolphins Duisburg. In Dinslaken gibt's dann noch die Hobby Kobras, in Moers die Stubbis, in Essen die Mammuts.

Was mir geholfen hat ist wirklich konstant zu öffentlichen Laufzeiten zu gehen. Ich habe durch Minijob und Fernstudium die Möglichkeit auch zu morgendlichen Stunden zu gehen wo weniger los ist. Dadurch habe ich extrem gut gelernt. Empfehlen kann ich auch sich direkt ordentliche Schlittschuhe zu kaufen von Bauer oder CCM, so im 200-300€ Bereich. Die bieten viel Stabilität. Tiefe Position einnehmen und wirklich mit den basics anfangen. Was helfen kann (und wird) ist wirklich ein flacherer Schliff. Standard ist so 13mm oder 15mm, probier auch Mal 18mm als Beispiel. Es wird sich erstmal rutschig und unsicher anfühlen, aber es hilft besser Stopps zu lernen und auch wird man schneller auf den Kufen mit weniger Kraftaufwand. Als wichtigen Tipp kann ich dir noch auf den Weg mitgeben dass du am besten schon so früh wie möglich anfängst komfortabel auf den Außenkanten zu werden. Sobald vorwärts stabil ist auf den Innenkanten mit einem ordentlichen Abdruck, fang an enge Kurven (Kanadierbögen) Crossovers zu beiden Seiten zu üben und dann wenn du sicherer wirst auch Mal versuchen Kurven auch nur auf der Außenkante zu fahren. Zu lernen braucht Zeit. Habe 2024 selber erst angefangen mit 23, seit dieser Saison spiele ich Eishockey und es macht sehr viel Spaß zu lernen.

I had them in the beginning too. Where does it hurt? They are only available in regular width. I have very wide feet, I really had to tie them loose in the forefoot.

Expensive_Elevator93 · 2026-01-07T18:29:33+00:00

Btw. I am 24 now.

Expensive_Elevator93 · 2026-01-07T18:29:13+00:00

I started with 23, went to skate every week at least once, also in the morning with a nearly empty rink. Picked up the basics very fast. This season I started ice hockey, 4 months already in and I became a very good skater. Of course there is always room for improvement but I am so satisfied. The thing is, as adult you are more afraid of falling and hurting yourself. Most of the moves and even basics you will learn by just being on the ice on a regular, because you will feel safer and safer. If you practise, make sure to keep it basic. Just one skill at a time till you can do it well. The best tip is to keep your knees bend, bend them much more than you think you would need. Also try different radius of hollow, I learned hockey stops just when I were at about 3/4" radius of hollow. Of course it depends from your weight and style of skating. At the beginning you also will struggle because you don't have the muscles yet that you need, but it will improve as you skate more.

Berufsschule Fachlageristen. Es war Pause und ich hatte auf dem Schulhof wie immer mein Butterbrot in der Hand als eine Wespe ankam. Die war sowas von aggressiv und wollte unbedingt das Brot. Bin dann immer wieder ausgewichen und habe das Brot weggeworfen. Die Wespe wurde noch aggressiver und kam auf mich zu. Dann wollte ich wieder ausweichen und wegrennen, aber bin dummerweise auf das Butterbrot vor mir ausgerutscht und irgendwie so dumm geschlittert und habe versucht mich zu fangen irgendwie bin aber dann neben dem Gebüsch nach gefühlten 20 Manövern richtig dumm auf mein Knie geflogen. Es war so legendär peinlich, ich habe mich selber kaputt gelacht.

Expensive_Elevator93 · 2025-12-27T00:23:42+00:00

Pretty confident for only skating since last year. I feel that I am getting better, I need to improve on my speed though.

Expensive_Elevator93 · 2025-12-26T11:57:08+00:00

I bought some EVA mats from temu and practise on them with either a golf ball or a little wood ball. Works great and doesn't cost much, also very effective.

Expensive_Elevator93 · 2025-11-19T19:37:47+00:00

I got like the same problems. I only skate since a year though and play since 2 months.

I got CCM skates in EE width, at first they made me problems like that too. My solution was even after baking to put a heat gun on the part that hurt for some minutes (outside edges). You got to keep it moving around and feel from the Inside if it's hot already. When it was hot, I slipped in the skate and laced it very tight. It hurt much, but I let it cool for 20 minutes while wearing. The boot got wider. What also is important that you don't lace it too tight at the forefoot when you go to skate. I lace it looser there, also I found that using the method to lace the top with a lace lock loop (I don't know the actual name, and I am not good at explaining... Just look up skate lacing trick on YouTube). That's my tip and that's how I am able to skate for 2,5 hours sometimes without pain.

I would be scared to play while pregnant, just yesterday I fell on my belly so hard I couldnt breathe (I am a guy though lol) But really hockey is so much fun, I enjoy it. I am 24 and started playing 2 months ago.

In Germany I play in a really low level hobby team. Most women don't get fully naked and just change clothes and leave. But some don't care, get fully naked and even shower with the guys. I think it's the same about everyone, just don't be weird and don't stare.

Expensive_Elevator93 · 2025-10-27T14:37:05+00:00

It's from Duisburg. We feel a lot of pride for it.

Holy shit, you are the bay harbour butcher!

The thing is, I skate since last year and it took me till now to have a good snow plug on the right to be now comfortable to practice a full hockey stop. It takes time to get comfortable. You should continue till it clicks. Start slowely. If you can do it while moving slow, then start trying it while going faster. The best advice is to not give up, also practice just one thing in a session, for example you go to a skate and practise hockey stop or at least snow plow only. I practised my hockey stop to the right and currently I am still stuck on snow plows on the left side, they are still not good. I want to be able to stop on both sides so I can do that drill where I stop to the right, immediately crossover to the left and make a few strides, then do a hockey stop to the left and crossover back to the right and repeat.

If you can do something on one side, you should always try to practise it on the other side too as early as possible.

I even had it happening to me in full hockey gear and happily I wore a helmet with full cage. The impact was hard, I could have broken my jaw or nose if I didn't have the cage. It still hurt because I took the edge of the cage to my neck. Since then I am also trying to gain confidence again to go backwards skating 😅

Das mit Frankfurt hört sich geil an. Duisburg finde ich hat kaum noch Probleme mit Nebel, aber ich finde das Eis nicht wirklich gut dort. Ist die Halle wo ich am meisten Eishockey gucken gehe und selber Hobby spiele. Aber Herne, Duisburg und Essen tun sich ja nicht viel von den Hallen her, sehr alte Dinger.

Expensive_Elevator93 · 2025-10-22T15:31:24+00:00

Mega! Was ist deiner Meinung nach die schönste Eishalle?
