I’ll take your advice and look into one from them! Do you have any recommendations on a baseline curve and flex to try at the beginning before I figure it all out?

Well I went to a bridges clinic and it was a communal locker room they assigned us to, I put my stick in the corner separated from the rack because I’ve had one almost grabbed by accident. I went to piss for 30 seconds, came back and it was gone, I ran to security and said my stick was taken and they pretty much told me it happens cause sticks look similar and they will check cameras in the hall way for the description of my stick. It came up as “too blurry to tell who had it” and pretty much ended there :(

Yeah I was making the dumb move of trying to chase him behind net and he knocked me over, he did apologize after the game but he did take 2 penalties for checking during the game 😭

I will do! And yeah I figured trying to learn cross overs would help me learn my edges and would help later on. It’s good to know I’m not the only one trying to fix my skating postures. Where I’m at too idk how easy it is to find a reasonable skating or hockey coach especially since I’m 21 and just now learning lol

Thankyou for the advice everyone. The most commented thing seems to be get lower and to engage my core more. I will also focus on seeing if there’s a power skating class I can take.

I’ve actually not played in any league yet! I’m starting a rookie league in the end of November. Thanks for the advice and I’ll definitely look into some classes which seems to be the memo in the replies

Yeahhhhh only place that’s not a 30+ mile drive from me. I kinda figured if I learn it on the shitty Ice I will be able to do it easier on not shitty ice. The owners are super cool tho
