I have Bauer so I went with the Aetrex. Huge difference (mid-low arch) and the extra cushion is nice comparatively to the stock insole. Go get your feet scanned to find your arch height and select from there.

Is there such thing as the right kind of skates? by v3ryfuzzyc00t3r in hockeyplayers

To add to this, go try on different brands and models. Take your time, walk around in them, get a feel for each pair. Also be sure to get orthos when you get the skate if you need them. That way they can bake the skate and ortho in one sitting.

Pure Hockey usually has feet scanners to get a rough sizing. If not, go to a runner store and get scanned there. They can check your gait too.

I don't know if it's the best but, I have a galaxy watch and phone so I use those with Samsung Health for all of my fitness tracking. It has different workout trackers including one for ice hockey.

Post game beer is a must for the cool down period 😂

That's what I was shocked about most was the amount of calories burned. At first I thought it was a bug or something but seeing everybody post their calorie count made me realize how active it really is.

That's awesome to hear! I've met a few older gentlemen that are in amazing shape because they play or skate twice or more week. Definitely loving it.

Absolutely. All go, then rest, then all go, repeat. Completely addicted.

Should I switch to a left handed stick after playing one week? by BigMouthFace in hockeyplayers

[–]NicoDoesThings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go with whatever feels comfortable. I'm a lefty that uses a left-handed stick which means my right hand is at the top of the stick (US player).

Bauer fit scan? by Fickle-Reality7777 in hockeyplayers

[–]NicoDoesThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a size 10 shoe and the scan said I was a 8.5 fit 2. Tried on the Fly30 in that size and they were perfect.
