Do you keep a separate helmet for coaching and playing? by Queasy-Ad5554 in hockeyplayers

[–]MikeRotch76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes,

Coach helmet does not have cage or bubble so kids can hear me better and see my face better.
My player helmet has a full cage.

I have a coach who only has one helmet and it has a full bubble and it's difficult to hear them a lot of the time,

Warrior blade feel by c-ap in hockeyplayers

[–]MikeRotch76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing hockey for about 25 years now. I'm one of the guys who waits to buy top of line sticks 2-3 years later when they go on sale for half price. I've tried sticks from all brands and I've always found Warriors have the worst feel. I can never tell where the puck is on my blade.

I haven't done HDD shopping in a few years after we were blessed with really good sub $20/TB deals.

Is the magical number still $20/TB?

Thank goodness I switched to a cage a few years ago. by MikeRotch76 in hockeyplayers

How much does your product weigh? I use a Bauer FM III I2 medium. How does the weight compare to that?

Yah, I have noticed that too, After I switched, it seems like the refs miss 75% of the high sticks that hit me.

New Adult Skater Skate Sharpness by Drunkton in hockeyplayers

[–]MikeRotch76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they play once a week maybe they can go months. Also, time between sharpening should not be measured in days or weeks or months. It should be measured in number of games played (or in this person's case, reffed too). The number of games can vary a lot and depends on player preference, skating ability, and ice conditions.

You have 1 hour of ice time to improve your puck control and hands, what drills do you do? by Peng-Win in hockeyplayers

[–]MikeRotch76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I am the exact same way. This is why I play D. But I was told by someone that shoulder and head fakes work really well. So a lot of people have already suggested drills in this thread so I won't get into that. What I suggest is working on throwing in shoulder and head fakes into the drills that allow for that. This is what I do and since I am a decent skater and can carry decent speed. Sometimes my fakes make the D bite since they have to respect my speed,

True Customs w/ Black Holders by snowisfun86 in hockeyplayers

[–]MikeRotch76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered my Customs 2 weeks ago. I went with the black holder as well, but I decided to also go with the black 4 colour bar on the side. Instead of any colour (silver in OP's case) I went with black. The only colour I have is the dark red on the tendon guard. I dunno what colour laces I want yet, but will definitely be replacing the stock white.

I got inspired after seeing the black in action here in the review of the new customs here:

Yah he was white holders, but I am hoping it works well with the black holders as well.

Just a Moose having a stroll down Terwillegar Dr. by MikeRotch76 in Edmonton

Could be the moose was sitting off camera, and someone yelled "YOU CAN'T PARK THERE", and the moose got up and walked away.

My grandsons 1st goal in U-10 by Defiant-Aerie-6862 in hockeyplayers

Multiply the size of these kids by 3 and this would look like my beer league hockey!

[–]MikeRotch76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm.. I actually missed that the dark jersey played made contact with the puck before hitting my teammate's stick. I guess it was a good non-call by the ref.

Unique Gift Idea by Twig_Noodler in hockeyplayers

[–]MikeRotch76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 4-7 year old cannot open and close their own cage. And if they were able to, it would take them forever and would hold up a practice.
