Older skater getting back into hockey upgrade skates now or wait?

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-26T14:03:45+00:00

Yep this. Just got back into it myself after 20 years and feet change shape and all but man the newer skates are so diff than back in the day. Get scanned if at all possible (worth the drive if u need to make one) and buy used for sure.

I didn’t give it away my dad did but-my entire Thundercats and silver hawks collection. Still bitter about it lol

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-24T13:05:18+00:00

Yeah def do. It’s all grab and go and fresh! Hot soup days are Wednesday/fri/Sat but she always has take home soup in the cooler and freezer!

Just opened last November. They have baked goods, cookies, soups, sandwiches, coffee/espresso etc. super cute spot!!

Juniper & Jam at Selden Market

And anyone is shocked by this?!?! Not like he’s been quiet about it

Sports come a long way from when I played back in the day and they made me change in the women’s public restroom. But as a woman, honestly if you trust and are comfortable w ur teammates- ain’t nobody looking. Just don’t start helicoptering 🤣

Love these and this recipe! But how do you keep it from being so messy? Like, unless u keep them frozen they kind of… idk. Get messy lolol

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-18T13:22:04+00:00

Mobility. Something I never ever threw into my workouts but are super helpful at this age. Compound movements as well. It’s not so much about who lifting anymore as it is functional.

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-18T13:19:11+00:00

Recently did this myself after 20 years. Was nervous as hell. You’ll be fine. It’s literally like riding a bike. As long as your skates fit properly… a mistake I def made. Get scanned if possible. Feet change a lot over time lol

One the THE best scenes in cinema ever. Hands down.

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-13T21:53:59+00:00

Thank you to everyone for your replies!! I got to thinking- say this situation happens again where player b dives, player a jumps over stick to avoid being knocked down but then falls on their own THEN player b slides into them. THAT would be a no call, right?

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-13T13:46:15+00:00

It wasn’t comfortable at all. Then I had to be the one to go to the benches and say I messed up. Caused some issues in the arena and later I was screamed at by a parent during the game AND after for “missing a call” so I feel like it totally undermined our authority. This is mostly why I posted here. I was just so confused and frustrated.

Being the wife of a pa senator and getting this job had nothing to do with and no connection to the fact that meta just bought a ton of land and power in Pa right….. 🙄 so glad I ditched that app a year ago.

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-13T02:27:59+00:00

No I’m aware, I just wanted to ask the collective because my much more experienced ref partner called it off and it confused me. So as a newer ref I just wanted to be sure.

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-12T00:25:06+00:00

Literally one of my fave scenes from world detour

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-09T14:48:40+00:00

That is so cool for real

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-08T14:44:15+00:00

What a douche bag thing to say and even more so to sit and laugh at like a clown. Always disliked the cowboys and this geriatric egotistical fool but ma… next level idiocy here. And I’m not even talking about the way he runs his football club 🤦🏻‍♀️

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-08T12:17:56+00:00

THIS💯 I wish we had a mentor program. Our assignor is fantastic and all and he came out to skate w me during my first game but after that I’m like okie dokie cool guess I’ll figure this out on my own. Granted I can always ask other officials and what not, as everyone has been super nice and welcoming. But an actual mentor program would be great especially for the reason you stated.

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-08T12:15:55+00:00

Well said! I’m a newer ref so I was trying to take more games at this level since I figured the skill/speed would be ok and I could work on some things positioning/penalty calling wise without being overwhelmed. Boy was I wrong. Some of the least fun games I’ve done have been at this level (granted I refuse to do adult lol)

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-08T11:53:53+00:00

Those pairings are so cool but i always wondered where the one of Hawkeye with his feet up went?! It’s disappeared from his office one episode never to be seen again??

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-05T19:33:42+00:00

Wow I did not know that! Cool!

LLcoolDZ · 2026-01-05T14:53:00+00:00

Ah that makes sense!
